Think you’re losing muscle because you’re getting older? Nah, you’re just not eating right! Today, I’m going to give you the top three things you need to eat to retain muscle as you age. Spoiler alert: It’s all about the protein, baby!

First up, PROTEIN! I’m talking lean meats, poultry, and fish. These bad boys are packed with the good stuff to keep your muscles from waving goodbye. Chicken breast, turkey, salmon – you name it, toss it on the grill, and boom, muscle power!

Number two, you guessed it, more PROTEIN! But this time, it’s beans, nuts, and veggies. Yeah, plants have protein too. Who knew? Lentils, chickpeas, almonds, and even those green veggies your mom used to force-feed you. They’re all muscle magic!

And finally, if you still can’t get enough, here’s a shocker: more PROTEIN! That’s right, protein powders. These are your secret weapon, your muscle’s BFF. Mix it in a shake, blend it in your smoothie, heck, sprinkle it on your cereal if you must.

So there you have it, folks. The top three things you need to eat to keep those muscles popping as you age. Lean meats, plant-based goodies, and a scoop of that protein magic powder. Stay strong, stay snarky, and keep those muscles from taking early retirement!

Now go on, get that protein in and show Father Time who’s boss!

PEACE,
