Our body has several basic building blocks and protein is an important one of these. Protein accounts for around 16 percent of a person’s total body weight. That is because connective tissues, skin, hair and muscle are all made up of protein. Protein also plays a crucial role in the majority of our body’s fluids and all of its cells. Even some of the important chemicals found within the body are partially made with protein and some of these include DNA, neurotransmitters, hormones and enzymes.
