Proteins

Pork We need protein for cellular growth and repair and it is an essential part of our diet -but a relatively small one.

Protein is found in a wide range of foods including fish, meat, poultry, game, dairy products, eggs, beans and lentils, nuts, seeds and tofu. Some of these foods are high in fat or have heavy cholesterol loads, but all can be eaten in moderation, if properly prepared.
