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.
Plant foods do not, as a rule, have complete proteins, but by eating combinations of plant foods, called âcomplementary proteins,â you can obtain a complete protein. For example, when you eat refried beans with rice, such as is often found in Mexican cuisine, you are obtaining a complete protein. The beans and rice complement each other, since each has some of the essential amino acids and when eaten together, you will have all of the essential amino acids. Animal or vegetable.
