What is protein?
Protein is a micro-nutrient that is important in building and repairing muscle, skin, and other body tissues. It also helps to fight infection, carry oxygen around your body and is important in promoting wound healing.
By ensuring that your diet is rich in protein, you are fuelling the healing process from the inside and helping to maintain a balanced diet.
So, which foods are full of protein?
lean meats, poultry and fish,
eggs,
dairy products like milk, yoghurt and cheese,
seeds and nuts.
