Proteins are essential components of the body, found in bones, skin, muscles, hair, and various tissues. They play vital roles, including enabling movement, transporting oxygen in the blood, and producing enzymes that facilitate chemical reactions. Composed of 20 amino acids, proteins include nine essential ones that must be obtained from the diet. Foods containing all nine amino acids are known as "complete proteins," while those lacking one or more are "incomplete proteins." Although some plant proteins are incomplete, consuming a diverse range of plant-based protein sources throughout the day can fulfill the body's requirements. High-protein plant foods include grains, beans, nuts, seeds, and legumes.
