Welcome to another episode of the HOW - Health, Others (Relationships), Wealth mini-series on the Mastering Life Podcast. Paul welcomes back personal trainer John Batterby to discuss the benefits of proteins in our diets. Trainer John talks about the five major roles of protein in your body, and the importance of leading a life with a balanced diet that includes protein.
It’s really important to understand proteins because protein is in every cell in the body and is an essential requirement for the health of the human body.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The Roles of Protein in Your Body
Building muscles and tissues - Protein is needed in building and repairing muscles tissues if we don't get enough and exercise our muscles this can lead to health problems and other issues. Protein is necessary to the muscle system to help to repair tears and grow.
Hormone production - Hormones are chemicals produced by glands that help to coordinate activities and communicate with other areas. Protein hormones bind to the receptors on the cell membrane rather than entering the cell directly. Your protein is needed to run the body.
Enzymes - Enzymes are proteins that bind to the molecules that speed up chemical reactions and play many activities such as muscle contractions. Your reactions will be quicker the more protein you have in your body.
Your immune function - Antibodies are specialised protein configurations that provide a specific defence against invaders. If you are low on protein you will struggle to get rid of the flu or a cold.
Energy - Protein is broken down into imino acids during digestion and provides 4 calories per gram. Including protein in your meals can help you feel satisfied and fuller quicker.

ABOUT THE HOST
Something that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – for which he is immensely proud. He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned – in the Steve Jobs quote:
“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
