Protein is found throughout the bodyâin muscle, bone, skin, hair, and virtually every other body part or tissue. It makes up the enzymes that power many chemical reactions and the hemoglobin that carries oxygen in your blood. At least 10,000 different proteins make you what you are and keep you that way.
Lots of foods contain protein and if youâre eating a well-balanced diet, youâre probably consuming more than enough protein without even thinking about it. Even though itâs quite easy to get plenty of protein on a vegetarian or vegan diet, it's a good idea to make sure youâre eating a variety of protein-rich foods.
