Recipe for Stronger Bones and Muscles as We Age

The scientists at Tufts University were the first to coin the term "sarcopenia," which is a gradual loss of muscle mass, strength and function that can occur with aging. This decline in skeletal muscle from "sarcopenia" affects 15% of people older than age 65 and 50% of people older than age 80.

Studies conducted at Tufts' HNRCA Nutrition, Exercise Physiology and Sarcopenia Laboratory suggest older adults may be able to ward off muscle loss. Here is the recipe:

• consume more protein than the currently recommended amounts
• combine the increased protein with muscle-building exercises

Why is this the recipe?

It turns out as we age we lose the ability to manufacture muscle from protein. Increasing dietary protein PLUS muscle-building exercises could help to maintain muscle mass and strength.

The recommended amount of protein across the board (for everyone) might be just a little low for the older adult. Protein intake probably should be more as we age. It stands to reason how "new" or "young" bones and muscles can survive without less protein than bones and muscles that are wearing out. I think of it as putting a little more grease on those areas that are starting to wear out, and our greases is extra protein plus muscle-building exercises.

Why do we need strong bones and muscle at any time of our life?

Strong bones and muscles contributes to a better quality life. You are better able to even do simple projects such as sweeping and mopping floors. That takes some strength that comes from the muscles and bones. Think about mowing grass and the muscle power it takes to accomplish this task. What about climbing in your house to clean the high places or just plain climbing stairs. Sure we got elevators in businesses, but what if you have a stair case in your house in which you have to go up and down 2 or 3 times per day. Of course, the going up and down the staircase is going to "help" you keep and build muscles, but without the other ingredient of enough protein, your gains will be minimal. source: Tufts University Newsletters

To help you increase quality protein in your diet, after you have eaten as well as you can, try Life's Abundance Plant Protein Powder for a quick addition of high quality protein. I like using this protein powder in 1% milk for a tasty daily milk shake usually after a work out.

Life's Abundance plant protein supplement is:

• Non-GMO
• Vegan
• Gluten Free
• Soy Free
• Dairy Free
• Grain free

It is also 100% grain-free, plant-based protein powder is a nutrient-rich blend of clean, high-quality proteins including pea, chia, pumpkin, hemp and quinoa.

At only 100 calories, it contains 14 grams of high-quality protein in every serving. For comparison, one-half of a boneless chicken breast, cooked is about 13 grams of protein and 115 calories.
Life’s Abundance Plant Protein is absolutely delicious and you can feel great about drinking it every day, because each and every ingredient was carefully chosen for its quality and safety.

While other protein powders use sunflower oil, we decided not to use this oil because it is high in omega-6 fatty acids, a fat that is much too prevalent in the American diet. Our Life’s Abundance Plant Protein contains non-GMO coconut oil powder, which is a great source of beneficial fatty acids that are easily absorbed. In addition, this health-promoting oil adds to the delicious taste and smooth texture of our blend.

Life’s Abundance Plant Protein is ideal for pre or post workouts, breakfast or whenever you need a healthy boost of energy from protein or a quick on-the-go snack.
With a superior taste and texture, it mixes easily with water into a silky smooth, rich and satisfying shake. Add to smoothies, pancakes, baked goods, oatmeal and more for a delicious way to increase protein.

I have several recipes on this blog you can try that uses this plant protein powder. I simply drink it as a milk shake after my walks or strength building exercises.
