helpful tip of the week
Prevent muscle loss as you age by increasing your protein intake.
A recent article in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition reported that at least one gram of protein per kilogram of body weight (to find your weight in kilograms divide your weight in pounds by 2.2) is needed each day for adults ages 50 and older.
Choose high-quality, lean sources of protein whenever possible, such as low-fat dairy products like nonfat yogurt; nuts and beans like almonds or black beans; seafood like salmon or trout; and lean meats like Johnsonville Chicken Sausage.
