Now, why is protein so important?...
BUILDS AND REPAIRS TISSUES
Protein aids in building stronger and healthier bones and muscles. It also helps your skin, hair and nails stay healthy. When you work out, especially when lifting weights, you are ripping some of your muscle fibers which is a good thing! And protein will help repair these tissues to build lean muscle.
REGULATES HORMONES
Not only does protein help with the things you see on the outside, but it also helps to regulate your hormone levels.
SPEEDS UP RECOVERY AFTER EXERCISE
Protein helps to expedite your body’s recovery after any exercise. This will help you to move every day without as much risk of injury!
