Why Protein Is Key for Muscles
The gist
Protein is important because it provides the building blocks called amino acids that muscles need to repair and grow.
Explain like I'm 5
Think of your muscles like a Lego castle that sometimes breaks; protein is like the new Lego pieces that help fix and make the castle bigger and stronger.
Big picture
Understanding protein's role helps people make better food choices to support muscle health, especially when exercising or recovering from injury.
