How Cooking Protein Enhances Digestion and Absorption

bsolutely not! In fact, cooking protein can actually aid digestion.

When protein is cooked, it undergoes a process called denaturation. This means the protein structure "unfolds," a process that also happens naturally in your body as you break down and digest protein. This unfolding makes it easier for your body to access and use the amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein and all the cells in your body.

Therefore, cooking protein supports your body's natural digestive processes. If anything, cooking makes protein easier to digest and absorb.
