  • Strength and Repair; protein serves as the building blocks for our muscles, tissues and organs. It supports muscle growth  and repairs worn out tissues and maintains the body, this makes it very crucial for individuals engaging in physical activity such as athletes or fitness enthusiasts. Protein is also important for enzyme production, immune system support and hormone  regulation.

Importance of Fiber 

  • Reduce body sugar and lower cholesterol; soluble fiber found in foods like oats fruits and beans dissolves in water to form gel-like substance which help regulate the body sugar and reduce the cholesterol level in the body.
  • Prevent constipation; soluble fiber found in foods like whole grains, vegetables and nuts adds bulk to the stool promoting movement of the bowel and prevents constipation.
  • Healthy gut and immunity; the gut microbiota compose of trillions of bacteria residing in our digestive tract, plays a vital role in immune function and overall health. Fiber acts as stimulants for these beneficial bacteria, promoting their growth and diversity. By nourishing your gut microbiome with fiber-rich foods, you can support a healthy immune system and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

In conclusion, a diet rich in protein and fiber has been linked to a lower risk of chronic diseases, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. By taking lean protein sources, such as poultry, fish, tofu, and legumes, along with fiber-packed fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, you can enhance your body's ability to have higher immunity to illness and maintain optimal health.
