The importance of protein in a healthy meal

Every parent wants to see their child grow up healthy and strong. Growing bodies need protein to spur muscle and bone development. #HealthyLivingAfrica

 

Along with fats and carbohydrates, protein is one of three macronutrients our bodies need to function well.
