Weight Loss - Life’s building blocks
Proteins are Complex Compounds made up of amino acids. Often called the “building blocks” of the body, amino acids are used to create, maintain, and repair all protein components of the body. These include body tissues such as skin, hair, bones, muscles, and organs, as well as digestive enzymes, hormones, various components of the immune system, and even genes.
Proteins also supply heat and energy, but not as readily as carbohydrates.
The average adult needs about half a gram of protein per pound of body weight.
Infants need three times as much protein as adults to support their rapid growth, and children need twice the amount.
Severity of Burns
Extensive burns or burns causing more than minor discomfort should be treated by a healthcare professional. For superficial burns caused by temperature (picking up a hot object, for example), natural medicine may be helpful after the burn is cleaned with soap and cold water and gently dried.
A burn is damage to your body’s tissues caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, sunlight or radiation. Scalds from hot liquids and steam, building fires and flammable liquids and gases are the most common causes of burns.
