Getting old ain’t for sissies so you need to muscle up!!. To do that you’re gonna need to pump up your protein, and here’s why:

1 – You Gotta Maintain Your Muscle Mass: As you age, you naturally lose muscle mass… the technical term for that is SCARPENIA. But protein repairs your muscles when they break down, so you don’t end up weak and shuffling around like the walking dead.

2 – Your Body Naturally Needs More Protein: Newsflash!. Your aging factory isn’t processing protein as efficiently as it used to so to keep things running smoothly—like tissue repair and your immune system — more protein is on the menu.

3 – Your Immune System is in a Fight: Your immune system used to be a fortress. Now protein helps support the aging structure and keeps you more resistant to bugs, viruses, and other things that threaten to breach the walls.

4 – You Just Don’t Heal Up Like You Used To: You already know that bumps, bruises, and the occasional “I threw my back out” all come with age and they take a lot longer to go away. Protein helps you heal faster so you can get back to your badass self.

5 -Protein Keeps Your Bones Strong, Too: Yep. Your bones need protein too to stay dense and strong. More protein will keep you standing tall and keep you from having a frail, wimpy, brittle skeleton.

So, load up on lean meats, fish, eggs, beans, nuts, seeds and all that good stuff. Throw in some protein shakes if you need to and you’ve got this. Focus on the protein and your strong, badass self is gonna thank you!

PEACE.
