Protein and Weight Management â. Consuming a higher protein diet can help you lose weight. Protein helps regulate appetite and cravings by enhancing the feeling of fullness for longer after a meal or snack.
Too much protein and improper digestion of protein can create health risks. The Body Ecology system of health and healing provides a roadmap for healthy protein digestion. Protein is an important nutrient that is key to every cell in your body. Your body needs protein to build and repair tissues -- and to make enzymes and hormones. Healthy bones, blood, hair, nails and muscles all rely on protein and since our bodies can't store it, we must get high quality protein from our food.
