Over your lifetime, you probably have complained of feeling pain when you were sick or injured. Some pain tends to be more acute than others. Pain originates from the receptor nerve cells beneath our skin and body organs. When one is injured or sick, the receptor cells send messages along nerve pathways to the spinal cord, which then transits the message to the brain. Pain can be acute, which means it's new. Subacute pain lasts for a few weeks or months, while chronic pain lasts for more than three months.

Did you know that every single cell of our human body is composed of protein? All thanks to protein, we have well-defined structures in our bodies, thus the reason we refer to them as life’s building blocks. The macronutrients are everywhere; in our bones, cells, tendons, muscles, enzymes, blood, hormones, neurotransmitters, and other structures. Proteins consist of amino acid chains. There are three categories of amino acids, namely, essential, nonessential, and conditional amino acids. Our bodies receive essential amino acids from the food we eat because they do not have the capacity to manufacture them. The body can manufacture nonessential amino acids from the essential amino acids supplied via food or during protein breakdown. Conditional amino acids are needed during certain conditions, such as adversity, stress, and illness.
