Let's Compare: Plant-Based Protein VS Animal-Based Protein!
Most of us love eating. But, we do not eat simply to fill our stomach, do we? We eat so that we can have a balanced and healthy diet. I believe you felt the same, right?
So, how do we eat healthily? Today, PhytoFairy is going to show you how important it is to have sufficient protein intakes for our body.
Protein is playing a big role in maintaining our body health. It is the crucial element that builds the body tissue. It helps to regulate our physical functions and boost the energy we need.
In other words, if comparing our body to a mechanical system, protein would be the main component it needs to fully function. Similar to each part of the machine, not one part can be omitted.
Many kinds of protein exist in different parts of our body. We cannot produce proteins on our own so it is vital to have sufficient protein intakes in our daily life.
Commonly, protein food sources can be categorised into plant-based protein (green vegetables, nuts, beans, whole grains and others) and animal-based protein (eggs, meats, dairy products and others).
Now, let us join PhytoFairy for a deeper understanding of how plant-based protein is different from the animal-based protein:
1. Fats and Cholestero
Animal-based protein may contain many saturated fats and cholesterols, which are regarded as unhealthy fats. High cholesterol is one of the reasons that contribute to cardiovascular diseases.
However, plant-based protein contains unsaturated fats that are considered healthy fats. Once broken down, the unsaturated fatty acid can help to maintain a good cholesterol level (High-density lipoprotein). Besides that, the plant-based protein itself does not contain any cholesterol.
2. Dietary Fibers
The fiber in plants is known as dietary fiber, it takes up a larger space in our stomach and provides satiety. It absorbs a huge amount of water and helps to expand the size of excrement in our intestine so that our gastrointestinal motility and our gastrointestinal health can be improved.
But, if we take in only animal-based protein, there could be a deficiency in dietary fibers, which may subsequently lead to constipation.
3. Phytochemicals
Plants are rich in phytochemicals. It is a natural plant compound that possesses the strong antioxidative capacity, which is capable of eliminating the free radicals in our body, further activating our immune system and strengthening our immunity.
4. Acidic Substances
If we always acquire protein from meats, it may eventually stimulate the production of acidic substances. When the meat is broken down, it will produce acidic metabolites in our body such as carbonic acid, lactic acid and uric acid. The acidic substances may cause us to easily fall victim to sub-health conditions. On the contrary, plant-based foods can neutralise acidic substances instead!
