HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -The basic structure of protein is a chain of amino acids. You need protein in your diet to help your body repair cells and make new ones. Protein is also important for growth and development in children, teens, and pregnant women.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your body uses its stored energy sources during a workout. After you exercise, you need to restore those nutrients as soon as possible. Research suggests that eating foods high in protein after your workout (within 15 minutes), provides essential amino acids that build and repair muscles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protein is the building block of muscles while muscle protein synthesis is a naturally occurring metabolic process in which protein is produced to repair muscle damage caused by intense exercise. This occurs from amino acids binding to skeletal muscle proteins and can lead to increased muscle size.
