Protein is the building block of the body and vitally important for building and repairing muscle, strengthening the immune system, keeping bones healthy, and making blood. It is also a component in hormone, enzyme, and antibody synthesis, and it raises your metabolism. Although protein can also be used as a source of energy for activity, it is used less than fat or carbs. In addition, protein is digested slowly, leaving you feeling full longer.
