Manage Protein to Preserve Muscle Mass

[Dr. Oz And Dr. Roizen] Manage Protein to Preserve Muscle Mass By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs NBA champion Lebron James knows he'll have the most energy and the best muscle strength if he spreads out his protein consumption over the course of the whole day. A typical breakfast for him includes egg whites and smoked salmon. Lunch might be whole wheat pasta and salmon with veggies. Before a game, he might eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. At halftime, it’s almond butter and apple, and after the game a protein shake. Special: [#1 Worst Breakfast for A1C]( You can learn a valuable lesson from that nutritional regimen, especially as you get older. A study from the School of Sport, Exercise, and Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Birmingham in the U.K. found that a good way to preserve muscle mass as you age is not just to make sure you get enough protein, but to make sure you get a good dose of high-quality protein at breakfast and lunch. The recommended daily intake is 69 grams to 81 grams a day for a healthy, older, 150-pound woman; 81 grams to 98 grams for a 180-pound man. Not only will this high-protein diet help you retain muscle mass and tone, but according to another study in the Journal of Gerontology, seniors who eat the most protein are 30% less likely to become functionally impaired than those who eat the least. Ditch that frozen waffle for an egg white omelet with lox and 100% whole grain toast. And switch your lunchtime drive-thru for broiled chicken breast on a bed of quinoa. That will help you avoid declining energy and shrinking muscle tone as you age. --------------------------------------------------------------- SPONSOR --------------------------------------------------------------- ADVERTORIAL High blood sugar?
