SENTENCE EXAMPLE

• Protein is a source that builds and repairs tissues in your body, it

can be found in foods such as: seafood, meat, eggs and nuts. The

advantage of having protein in your body is that it makes

hormones, enzymes and other body cells/chemicals. Nonetheless,

the disadvantages are that if you have pre-existing kidney disease

it can cause damage because of the excess nitrogen in the amino

acids. If too much protein is consumed it can lead to gaining

weight because your body cannot consume too many calories

while trying to increase your protein intake.
