It is very common to know that we should eat more vegetables and fruits. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that we consume five servings of vegetables and fruits a day. Do you still remember how a single serving of fruit is calculated?

One serving is about the size of a fist. For example, an apple with the size of a fist is a serving of fruit. Besides vegetables and fruits, have you ever wondered why we don't pay attention to protein intake?

Protein is actually very important to our human health. Regardless of whether you are losing weight or want to build muscle, or even after the puberty stage, protein is still playing an important role in our body.

Its function is to maintain the growth and development of the human body, but also to help the human body muscles recover, promote the metabolism and production of muscle cells, besides providing us with sufficient energy.

Usually, as we mention protein, we would think of animal protein such as meat and eggs. But do you know? The benefits of plant-based protein are no less than the benefits of animal-based protein!

PhytoFairy suggests that we should prioritize beans as the main protein source and then followed by fish, eggs, and finally meat.

The reason is because, firstly, we can avoid excessive intake of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol. For example, pork belly is also considered as a source of protein, but the fat and cholesterol contained in lard should not be ignored!

Therefore, in terms of meat selection, we may also give priority to poultry, that is, chicken; then livestock, such as pork, beef, and mutton.

Eggs contain cholesterol as well. With that being said, should we limit the intake of eggs?

In fact, the cholesterol contained in egg yolk does not affect human health. The cholesterol that really affects us is actually synthesized by the body, or the foods that are rich in saturated fatty acids lead to the elevation of blood cholesterol level.

If you are suffering from hypercholesterolemia (high blood cholesterol), according to the suggestion of the Ministry of Health of Malaysia, you may consume three eggs a week, so don't let the eggs take the blame for high cholesterol again!

Why are beans our first choice of protein?

Do you remember? It was mentioned that saturated fatty acids and cholesterol will increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, while plant-based protein is relatively a low-fat, low-calorie, and low-cholesterol option, which may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Secondly, beans contain a substantial amount of dietary fiber, and a common problem among dining out is insufficient dietary fiber intake, which may cause gastrointestinal problems in the long run.

Plant protein is rich in dietary fiber, which can compensate for the lack of fiber intake. Moreover, the planting area of plant-based protein is also smaller than that of animal-based protein, in this case it is said to be environmentally friendly and also healthy!

PHHP PhytoNutri contains 21 kinds of beans and grains, which means that it is a plant-based protein and does not contain trans fats. All you need is to prepare a sachet of supplement packs to acquire nutrients easily!

In addition to being edible by vegetarians, PhytoFairy also recommends that non-vegetarians consume beans to replace part of their meat intakes. After all, beans are a source of high-quality protein, which is both healthy and nutritious!
