 The word Protein comes from the Greek word Protos or Proteose, which means "to come first". It has been recognised from early times to be absolutely essential for life.
Protein (made from combinations of 22 known amino acids) makes up our DNA, hormones, enzymes, muscles, immune cells, liver, kidneys, glands etc. Some of the amino acids, 8 or 9 (for children) are most essential and must be consumed so that we can make the other 13 or 14 amino acids thus creating protein.
It is preferred because most protein-rich foods are tasty, satisfy hunger and are rich in other nutrients.
