Discover the foods high in proteins of plant origin and start eating them!!<\/h3>\n

Proteins <\/strong>are organic compounds made up of combinations of 20 amino acids. We can synthesise some of these amino acids but others, called essential amino acids,<\/strong> we cannot, which is why we need to obtain them from our diet. Proteins are indispensable <\/strong>for our organism and between 10-15%<\/strong> of all the calories we consume every day should come from them. Among their functions is the creation and maintenance of cellular structures and tissues and the metabolism of foods.<\/p>\n

Protein can be of animal or plant<\/strong> origin. In our culture, we tend to consume more animal-sourced foods to the detriment of plant-sourced ones. In order to balance our diet, we should add more foods of plant origin, which are equally rich in amino acids while having a lower fat content.<\/p>\n

Take note of the food high in proteins of plant origin.<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Pulses.<\/strong> Lentils, chick peas or beans. Apart from having 20 to 30% protein content, they also have fibre which regulates the absorption of carbohydrates and maintains blood sugar levels. They also provide magnesium for the brain and vitamins of the B group. Don\u2019t let them get away!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Soya.<\/strong> It is also a member of the pulse family, but deserves a special mention as it provides a higher proportion of proteins, sometimes reaching 36%. This means that, for vegetarians, soya can be a substitute for meat and even dairy milk. It also contains calcium, helps reduce LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and improves blood vessel flexibility.<\/li>\n
  3. Wholemeal cereals<\/strong>. They contain amino acids like methionine, which is less prevalent in pulses, though they have less lysine, which is prevalent in pulses. This means that the combination of these two foods results in highly valuable proteins and can be very complete dishes. For example, lentils with rice or chick peas with couscous. What\u2019s more, wholemeal cereals have a large quantity of fibre, vitamins of the B and E groups and minerals like iron, zinc and copper.<\/li>\n
  4. Asparagus, cauliflower, broccoli, maize\u2026<\/strong> These vegetables contain important amino acids like aspartic acid, cysteine, leucine or lysine, as well as water, fibre, flavonoids and beta carotenes which protect the digestive tract, the skin and tissue.<\/li>\n
  5. Nuts<\/strong>. We must not forget the greatest source of plant proteins, approximately 25 grams of each 100. They also provide Omega-3 acids, which are indispensable for a healthy heart, potassium, magnesium and vitamins E and B.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Combine all these foods to get the proper level of proteins and discover a world of flavours and surprisingly complete dishes.<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
