Proteins do many amazing things for us:
- Building Bones: Just like bricks make a strong house, proteins help make our bones strong.
- Making Muscles: When we run, jump, or play, our muscles need proteins to grow big and strong.

There are many tasty foods that give us proteins:
- Meat: Chicken, beef, and fish.
- Eggs: Yummy for breakfast!
- Dairy: Milk, cheese, and yogurt are great sources too.
- Beans and Nuts: These are healthy snacks that are full of proteins!
How Do Proteins Help Us?
Every day, we need proteins to help our bodies repair and grow. If you get a little hurt, proteins help heal your skin. If you exercise, they help your muscles become stronger.
