What should you eat, how much and when should you eat to regain muscle loss with aging?
Eat quality proteins
If you want to build and strengthen muscles to help with aging, I recommend committing to eating 30 g of lean protein in every meal. The body does not store proteins, meaning no matter how much you eat, the body only uses what it requires. To quantify 30 g of protein, think of 5 ounce salmon fillet or three scrambled eggs and half cup of cheese.
Load meals with omega 3 fats
Omega-3 fatty acids are great for preventing inflammation, which can help maintain muscle mass. They also facilitate how muscles utilize proteins in repair process. You can get them from eating a handful of walnuts and 4 ounces of salmon.
What is sarcopenia and how can people avoid it as they get older?
Sarcopenia is the loss of muscle strength and mass initiated by old age, leading to body weakness. But you can counter it by resistance training, which helps strengthen bones and build muscles. You also need to eat a healthy diet, including lean proteins as mentioned earlier.
What are some of the best sources of protein for muscle building?
The best sources include;
- Eggs
- Chicken
- Salmon
- Turkey
- Tuna
How important is carbohydrate for muscle building as you age?
Carbs are significant in muscle building because they provide fuel for muscles, preventing the body from obtaining energy by eating into existing muscles. In short, they spare protein by providing the energy needed by the body.
GP
The work of a family doctor includes a wide range of clinical diversity, which requires extensive knowledge and erudition from a specialist. However, I believe that the most important thing for a family doctor is to be human because the cooperation and understanding between the doctor and the patient are crucial in ensuring successful health care. On my days off, I love being in nature. Since childhood, I have been passionate about playing chess and tennis. Whenever I have time off, I enjoy traveling around the world.
