Fehérjére

Fehérjére is the Hungarian word for protein. Proteins are essential macronutrients that play a vital role in nearly all biological processes. They are complex molecules composed of amino acids, which are the building blocks of life. In the human body, proteins are responsible for a wide range of functions, including building and repairing tissues, producing enzymes and hormones, supporting the immune system, and transporting molecules.

Dietary protein can be obtained from various sources, both animal and plant-based. Animal sources include meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Plant-based sources include legumes (such as beans, lentils, and peas), nuts, seeds, and some grains. The recommended daily intake of protein varies depending on factors such as age, activity level, and overall health.

When consumed, proteins are broken down into amino acids in the digestive system. These amino acids are then absorbed and used by the body to synthesize new proteins as needed. There are 20 different amino acids, nine of which are considered essential, meaning the body cannot produce them and they must be obtained from the diet. The specific sequence of amino acids determines the unique structure and function of each protein. Improper protein intake can lead to various health issues, including muscle loss, impaired immune function, and developmental problems.
