Statement about Ascension and protein requirements:<\/strong> *** One thing to remember about Ascension and shifting nutrition recommendations is that the more crystalline-based our DNA becomes, the less protein we require. Protein breaks down into amino acids which are the building blocks for the carbon-based DNA structure. So don\u02bct worry so much about getting enough protein, there is plenty of protein in the plants you eat, nuts &amp; seeds, quinoa, and le- gumes. You might require more protein if you are doing alot of exercising, weight-training and athletics. (see below \u2013 vegan protein sources)***<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.
