What are the three thermogenic nutrients?

The human body supplements protein by ingesting plant and animal food. Protein is mainly provided by cereals, generally containing 4%, rice 8%-9% and flour10%-1%. Among plants, the food containing the most protein is soybean, 100g soybean contains 35g of protein, and bean products contain protein.

Among animal foods, the protein content of lean meat food is about 15%-20%, the protein content of fish, shrimp and mollusk food is about 15%-20%, the protein content of milk is 2.3%, and the egg is 12.8%. The content of protein in vegetables and fruits is generally low, about below 3%.

There are four main effects of fat on human body:

The function of providing heat for human body. Fat is oxidized in the human body and becomes carbon dioxide and water, giving off heat. Fat produces about 2.2 times as much calories as the equivalent protein or carbohydrate. This shows that fat is an important source of heat in the body.

Functional and bioactive substances that constitute body tissues. Fat is one of the important components of human cells, especially brain nerve, liver, kidney and other important organs contain a lot of fat. Fat also constitutes body tissues and bioactive substances in the body, such as the main components of cell membranes, forming phospholipids, glycolipids and so on.

The function of regulating physiological functions. Because fat is not a good heat conductor, subcutaneous adipose tissue is an isolation layer to protect the body and prevent body temperature from escaping. So fat has the function of keeping body temperature. Fat can also store "fuel" for the body as a backup. After eating fat, the inexhaustible part can exist in the body and be reused when the body needs calories.

In addition, fat can also protect internal organs, moisturize skin, prevent earthquakes and dissolve nutrients. Some vitamins that are insoluble in water but only soluble in lipids can be absorbed and utilized by the human body only in the presence of fat.
