Protein is essential for survival, serving as the body's building blocks and crucial for growth, muscle maintenance, and tissue repair. Adults should aim for 10-35% of daily calories from protein. Requirements vary by age, gender, and activity level, with higher needs for children, teens, and active individuals. Healthy sources include lean meats, dairy, and plant-based options.
