Protien!

So, I’m sitting here trying to think of something to write about. Although I have parts of some journals, they aren’t long enough to write _ of a page. Ryan and I are eating this protein bar that I brought from home. He told me that it was really powdery, but I was eating such little bites I thought it tasted great. I ate the rest of it in one big bite and he was very right about how it tasted like powder. It also gets caught in your mouth, like up in the corners. It’s actually kind of really disgusting. That’s probably because there’s over 30g of protein.
Let me give you some reasons why you should eat them. They are gross. However, they can give you most of your daily vitamins that you need. There’s calcium, fibers, sugars, potassium, iron, and phosphorus. Calcium is essential to maintaining total body health. Fiber stabilizes blood sugar levels within you. There isn’t a need for any sugar in your body, so I guess that really doesn’t matter. Potassium can help prevent heart disease, high blood pressure, hypoglycemia, diabetes, kidney disease, being overweight, and some cases of paralysis. Iron is a part of blood cells that carry oxygen to all of the other cells. It’s a very mandatory mineral to have. Finally, let’s talk about phosphorus. 85% of phosphorus is found in the bones. The rest is found in the blood, around the cells and in various organs like the heart, kidneys and brain.
To kind of review, I’m not telling you that they are the most delicious things to eat, but they can be extremely healthy and prevent possible diseases. They also count as a meal and are very filling.
