Nutrition (Part 2)
Protein, Fats, and Carbohydrates are the main source of energy in our daily meal, they're just like the fuel for vehicles.
We need them not only for the energy, we also need them to build cells and tissue for our muscles and organs, especially protein and lipids.
Furthermore, you might be surprised that roughly 95% of our bones is made of protein in the form called "Collagen".
But that's not all! Enzymes, which help the bio-chemical process in our bodies, are also made with protein, while lipids help to compose the cell membrane and hormones.
A well-balanced portfolio of protein, fats, and carbohydrates for normal adult is 30:30:40. But for patients who have kidney problems should lower their protein intake.
