Protein Protein • Questions – why do

we need proteins?• What function does

this have in the body?

• What will happen if we do not eat sufficient protein in our diet?

• What is protein made up of?

• Behind water, protein is the most abundant substance in your body.

• Protein is made up of amino acids. When you digest food that contains protein your body breaks the protein down in to these amino acids.

There are 20 amino acids, each can be strung together in a different order in the body and this produces the different proteins.

Task - Make notes from the following slides

• When food is being digested the body selects the amino acids that are needed for a specific function and they are absorbed though the large intestine.

• These proteins are needed to help develop and maintain your muscles and organs; in fact most of the bodies functions are reliant on there being enough protein.

Task 1- 2 - 3 Task 1- 2 - 3 1. Draw up the protein values of different

foods on page 1.4 – page 142. Draw up the detail on how much protein

we need to eat each day (different groups)

3. Now plan a meal for a meal for someone that has just had an operation on their body, they need a good source of protein (you will ccok this during the next lesson)

• Without enough protein your body cannot function correctly.

• The correct amount of protein on the other hand assists in the building and maintenance of all body tissues and helps in the creation of enzymes and antibodies which are essential for all over body health.
