Vegetable Protein
Posted by admin |
From De Rossi , Italian Diet expert :
Our body synthesizes proteins to:
* To build new cells
* To produce enzymes
* For transporting nutrients
starting from a twenty amino acids, which in addition to protein synthesis also have other important functions. For example
* Other amino acids to preside synthesis of nucleic acids, which are fundamental for the duplication of DNA
* The summary of polyamines
* The summary of phospholipids cell membranes.
Of this twenty amino acids ( “bricks” basic protein) a dozen are defined essential, because they can not be synthesized by our body, but must be introduced with food, in a balanced way.
The daily requirement of protein in adult is usually calculated in 0.8 grams per kilo bodyweight (deprivato by calculating the weight of excess fat). This percentage has been questioned with seemingly persuasive arguments from Sears, in a series of works also disclosed in Italy. According to the American biochemical requirements of protein would be fairly higher ( till 2grams per kg ).
In fact, the demand is hardly calculable, because our body varies greatly catabolism proteinaceous according to the contribution of proteins that normally receives. A diet rich in protein (the West can reach 120 grams per day) transforms the catabolism of those who practice, making it able to consume all the protein made.
* An increased replacement cells, which within certain limits can be positive, but above a certain level can accelerate the processes of aging.
The portions that indicate the page of the meals are calculated to make a reasonably abundant protein in order to avoid shortages that could be dangerous (some amino acids such as methionine are important factors to protect mobile).
But precisely because our body changes its metabolism and its catabolism the contribution of different proteins and what happens with a certain slowness, it is important that whoever started the diet method Kousmine the face with some gradual, in order to enable the rhythms . The initial fasting is also recommended by us because it represents a step “dramatic”, which can in a short time to readapt without overloading the rhythms of catabolics.
The sources of protein
The main sources of protein diet modern western foods are the animals: meat, dairy products, eggs … But it is not always the case. In the past we ate meat only once or twice a week, a little ‘more eggs and milk or cheese to varying degrees depending on the conditions of life.
At first glance it seems a step forward. Our body does not use directly proteins, but the amino acids that make up. The proteins made from the diet should be divided into these “bricks” key of life, then to be recomposed depending on the needs of our body. Some of these amino acids - ten - are called essential because our body is unable to build, but must introduce already summarised. We need that food that we use not only have these amino acids, but they have in optimum proportions for Food.
Only animal protein and soybeans is very close to that balance (the egg reaches almost to perfection …). The plant proteins are deficient in any of these elements: the proteins of cereals are scarce lysine, those pulses of low sulphur amino acid. That is why someone declares that vegetarian diets are not balanced.
