Guest guest Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 " The Top 10 Protein Rich Foods on the Planet " Copyright 2005 by TheRawDiet.com By Michael Snyder One of the biggest concerns about the vegan raw and living foods diet is protein. This diet contains the most protein rich foods in the world. When protein is consumed it is broken down into 22 different amino acids. Depending on whom you ask, there are 8 or 10 essential amino acids that must be found in food. There are many vegan foods that supply every amino acid in an easy to digest form. Many raw foods, such as ripe fruit and sprouts, are already broken down into amino acids. Consuming a good variety of foods will supply you with more than enough protein. A daily consumption of twenty to forty grams of protein is appropriate for most people. Generally, this should make up between 10% to 40% of your daily calorie intake. Track your percentages with the free software on one of these two sites to find out where your current diet stands: http://www.fitday.com http://nat.crgq.com There is more than enough protein available in fruits, leafy greens, and vegetables to satisfy your body's needs. Sweet fruit averages 6% to 8% protein, and vegetables/leafy greens average 50% of calories from protein. Dr. Gabriel Cousens estimates that cooking destroys 50% of the protein found in food. Two of the essential amino acids, tryptophan and lysine, are destroyed at temperatures above approximately 110 degrees Fahrenheit. While every food contains protein, there are a few that contain remarkably high levels of amino acids. These are the top 10 protein rich foods on Earth. 1. Algae by weight have significantly more protein than any other plant on earth. It is over 50% protein by weight and is completely digestible. There's no other food that comes close this level of protein. The three types of raw algae are spirulina, chlorella, and Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) blue- green algae from Klamath Lake, Oregon. These algae contain 20 amino acids. Dr. Gabriel Cousens speaks on AFA algae-> http://www.e3live.com/generalpages/interview.htm Brian Clement speaks on AFA algae-> http://www.e3live.com/generalpages/radioshow.htm 2. Bee Pollen is a food that is already broken down into the individual amino acids. It contains almost all the essential components needed to sustain life. It is 40% protein and rich in minerals and vitamins. It contains 21 amino acids per serving. Bee pollen is one of the best food sources of the nutrient lecithin. 3. Hemp seeds are around 35% protein and contain every essential amino acid. They contain 19 of the amino acids, along with many trace minerals and essential fats. 4. One of my favorite sources of protein is a pate made from nuts and seeds. This is an incredibly delicious, nutritious, and easy to prepare food which requires a food processor. A large supply can be made at the beginning of the week and it will store well in the refrigerator for up to a week. They make quick meals when you add it to a pre-made salad. By combining different nuts and seeds, you will create a pate that contains all 22 amino acids. Some of the most popular pate ingredients include brazil nuts, pine nuts, macadamia nuts, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, garlic, celery, carrot, red bell pepper, basil, dill, and parsley. 5. Goji Berries are one of the most nutrient dense foods on earth. The goji berry is a deep-red, dried fruit similar to a raisin. They contain 18 amino acids, along with 21 trace minerals and numerous vitamins. Note: What are the other 5 best protein foods? You'll find them in my book " The Health Evolution " . Look for my email in the next few days announcing my book release! ~*~*~*~*~*~* Mike Snyder http://www.therawdiet.com " Transform Your Diet and Improve Your Health In Record Time with Proven, Time-Tested, Evolutionary Strategies.
