9. What is healthy body?
A healthy body contains numberless healthy cells!
10. HUMAN CELLS
The cell is the basic structural and
functional unit of life; all organisms
are composed of cells.
Each cell contains genetic material
that is passed down during this
process.
All basic chemical and
physiological functions - for
example, repair, growth, movement,
immunity, communication, and
digestion - are carried out inside of
cells.
11. HUMAN CELLS
Cells are alive. The individual cells of
your organs are just as “alive” as you
are, even though they cannot live
independently.
This means cells can take energy
(can be in the form of light, sugar, or
other compounds) and build materials
(PROTEINS, carbohydrates and
fats), and use these to repair
themselves and make new
generations of cells (reproduction).
The characteristics and needs of an
organism are in reality the
characteristics and needs of the cells
that make up the organism. For
example, you need water because
your cells need water.
12. PROTEINS
Most of the activities of a cell
(repair, reproduction, etc.) are
carried out via the production of
proteins.
Proteins are large molecules that
are made within the cell using the
instructions contained within the
genetic material of the cell.
13. PROTEINS
Proteins are composed of
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen
and various selective combinations
of 20 standard amino acids (in
case of humans).
They play an essential role in the
cellular maintenance, growth, and
functioning of the human body.
Serving as the basic structural
molecule of all the tissues in the
body, protein makes up nearly 17
percent of the total body weight.
14. PROTEINS
Protein is found throughout the
body in hair, nails, outer layers of
skin, muscle tissue, the inner
structure of bones, and red blood
cells.
Protein is used by the body to
perform many functions in the
body including:
• Building and repairing body tissues
• Producing enzymes
• Carrying nutrients throughout the
body
• Hormone production
• Creating new cells
• Maintaining fluid balance
• Transporting oxygen throughout the
body.
15. AMINO ACIDS
Amino acids are commonly known as
the building blocks of protein, and
specific bodily functions are dependent
upon how strands of amino acids are
arranged.
There are two groups of Amino Acids:
1. Amino Acids, that must be obtained
from the diet are:
Essential Amino Acids.
2. Other Amino Acids, that the body
can manufacture from other sources
are called:
Non-essential Amino Acids.
16. AMINO ACIDS
The human organism is basically
capable of producing 11 of the
amino-acids, while the other 9
must be supplied for the body by
nutrients.
In case of intensive stress, we can
more or less produce 7 out of these
9 but we are completely incapable
of producing LYSINE, for example.
17. LYSINE
L-lysine is classified as an
essential amino acid for humans.
It means our body is not able to
produce Lysine, therefore must be
supplied by the diet.
18. LYSINE
• participates in the composition of proteins,
• assists the absorption of calcium,
• it may have a beneficial effect on the
connective tissues and the vein walls,
• it may contribute to the formation and
maintenance of normal bone
structure, fat metabolism, energy
producing processes and the
appropriate muscular activities,
• is necessary for the formation of
collagen; thus, every cell of the body
needs it.
19. Natural LYSINE sources
The best food sources are fish, chicken, beef,
lamb, wheat germ, milk, cottage cheese, and brewer’s
yeast.
Proteins found in grains, cereals and their products are
typically low in L-lysine. E.g. wheat is low in L-lysine;
wheat germ, however, is rich in L-lysine.
Small amounts of free L-lysine are found in
vegetables, vegetable juices and in such fermented
foods as yogurt.
