5. Amino Acids
Proteins and amino acids are building blocks of the human body. When the body digests and breaks down proteins, it leaves behind amino acids it can use to create other proteins for growth, body tissue repair, and breaking down food. There are a total of 22 amino acids, nine of which are essential, meaning the body can’t synthesize them and must get them from food. Chayote squash contains seven of the nine essential amino acids.
