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.
Nuts, legumes (including beans), seeds and whole grains all provide protein and when combined can help provide all essential amino acids. Some professionals say that quinoa is an exception as a complete, plant-based protein but others are still on the fence about this one.
