Massage Las Vegas in room, so, we have only one way to maintain and rebuild muscle mass EXERCISE.

Protein boosting Diet – Massage Las Vegas in Room

You are what you eat! More protein means more muscles. Body breaks the protein into amino acids which are the building blocks of muscles. But, as we age our bodies lose the ability to break down the protein. This means older people have to consume more protein to build sufficient amount of muscle with the progressive resistance training.

A study suggests that older people who do the PRE should take 1.2 grams for each kilogram of their body mass. For example, someone who weighs 80kg (176 pounds) should take 96 grams of protein each day. You have to divide the protein intake throughout the day, not just taking all of them in one meal. Animal meat is the best source of protein. Chicken and fish are the healthiest. Also, eggs and milk is great. But, make sure you don’t eat too much red meat and processed food as they contain high amount of saturated fat and different kinds of additives. Massage Las Vegas in room.
