Lysine/Arginine Ratio

Okay . . . so where do we find the amino acid called "lysine"?

Well . . . "lysine" is in many of the foods we eat every day . . . but the question remains . . .

Are these foods giving us enough??

And to answer that question . . . we need to understand the "RATIO" between "lysine" and "arginine".

You see . . . many of the healthy foods we eat everyday contain both "lysine" and "arginine" . . . a good example would be . . .

Onions . . . now, onion are very good for us and most of us love them . . . but . . .

Onions only have "90" milligrams of lysine . . . whereas, they have "262" milligrams of "arginine". They have more "arginine" than they do "lysine".

So let's take another example . . .

Everyone likes a glass of orange juice in the morning . . .

Well . . . it contains only "22" milligrams of "lysine" and "117" milligrams of "arginine"

So the "lysine"/"arginine" RATIO . . . is just the amount of "lysine" vs "arginine" in any given food item.

And some of the elements that have the correct "ratio" of more "lysine" than "arginine" would be . . .
