Protein

Protein is a macronutrient (meaning that the body needs a relatively large amount of it).

.
Protein is ESSENTIAL for life. It is involved in digestive health, provides building blocks for the body's tissues and muscles, hormone production, immune health and so much more.
.
Protein is part of EVERY single cell in the body!! Including our hair, skin, nails and muscle tone! (whit woo)

.
Not only should we be eating enough protein but we need to be eating the right kind, because not all proteins are created equally.

With animal proteins, look for labels with:
organic
free-range
pasture-raised
grass-fed
wild-caught
.

(Processed meats can be full of nitrates, sugar and preservatives and should be avoided.)
