Choosing Complete Proteins
Protein is very important to the overall health of every human being at every age. Aging adults still need adequate protein. Protein helps to maintain the integrity of the physical body. Healthy men need 70 grams / day and healthy females need 55 grams / day at a minimum. However, if you have liver and kidney ailments consult your primary health care provider or a licensed nutritionist for an appropriate nutritional protocol.
Vegetarians can combine beans and brown rice, mixed nuts, tofu, tempeh, organic rice or soy based protein shakes to provide increased levels of dietary proteins. Ovo vegetarians can include organic diary such as cheese, eggs and milk.
Essential Amino Acids are equally important. They increase the metabolism naturally thus aids in weight loss. An essential amino acid for an organism is an amino acid that cannot be synthesized by the organism from other available resources, and therefore must be supplied as part of its diet. READ MORE . . .

Garden-Variety Protein
Germinated or fermented seeds, legumes, and cereal grains are the best sources of protein in the vegetable kingdom, but they're low in essential tryptophan, cystine, and threonine. This is why you should strive for variety when you choose fruits and vegetables. The more you eat, the more complete your nutrient and protein intake will be.
Under normal conditions, the healthy human body is able to manufacture all but eight of the necessary twenty-two amino acids. The remaining eight must come from the food you eat. Animal protein is our only complete protein source, providing all eight essential amino acids. When we fail to get the essential amino acids and protein we need, we begin to lose myocardial (heart) muscle, which may contribute to coronary heart disease. While the consumption of organic fruits and vegetables is an obvious and important foundation of the Maker's Diet, the human body cannot function optimally without certain proteins and fats available only from animal sources.
Animal products purchased from grocery stores are prone to contamination from pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers as well as the common overuse of antibiotics and growth hormones in large-scale commercial feedlots, making these food sources downright dangerous. For these and other reasons, we only recommend animal proteins from beef, lamb, goat, buffalo, venison, elk, and other clean red meats; fish with fins and scales from oceans and rivers; chicken, turkey, and other poultry raised in a free-range or organic and grass-fed setting.
