    Proteins are essential to the human diet and are found in a variety of foods. They perform important functions in the body such as fighting infections and helping cells divide. A protein is made up of a chain of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds. When consumed, proteins get broken down into individual amino acids that can then be reformed into new proteins necessary for the body's functions.
