Every day, our body performs extraordinary feats, often at high speeds. In order for all metabolic processes to run smoothly, countless processes must be regulated simultaneously.
Not only the appropriate daily energy intake and the total energy content of food, but also its composition, are of enormous importance for keeping our bodies healthy. Proteins, amino acids, and fiber play important roles in these processes. Superfoods such as chia, hemp, maqui, goji berries, and our sooperfood mixes do a good job here.
Proteine
Proteins are the basic building blocks of all human cells. Unlike carbohydrates and fats, the body cannot store proteins, so amino acids must be constantly supplied. be constantly supplied. They play a crucial role in vital processes in the body.
A particularly important function of proteins is to build new cells or repair existing cells. Proteins support and repair our muscle fibers, which is important when we have exerted ourselves heavily during sport. High-quality vegetable protein is an essential component of our Sooperfood products.
Dietary fiber
Dietary fibres are carbohydrates that can hardly or not at all be broken down in the small intestine and therefore reach the large intestine undigested. There they bind water, ensure that the digestive tract is sufficiently filled and accelerate the processes. As a result, the intestine comes into contact with possible toxins for a shorter time, which promotes intestinal health. Bacteria located in the large intestine can break down water-soluble fiber. This means that they are available to the intestinal cells as an energy source to a limited extent.
Essential fatty acids
A distinction is made between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These are essential (vital) for humans, i.e. the body cannot produce them itself and they must be obtained from food. Polyunsaturated fatty acids fulfill important functions in the human body. They contribute to the maintenance of normal cholesterol levels and are necessary for normal growth and healthy development. Hemp protein and chia contain essential fatty acids. A healthy breakfast is the best and also the smartest way to supply the body with all the important substances and energy sources.
