Shiftheads - Why Protein Matters More as You Age

Shiftheads - Why Protein Matters More as You Age

Holistic nutritionist Alyssa B of nourished.ca makes the case that protein isn't a fitness trend — it's the foundation everything else depends on. Muscle protects bone. Bone protects you from the fall that changes everything. Getting enough protein is how you stay independent at seventy.

Alyssa breaks down exactly how much protein you actually need, why front-loading it at breakfast changes the rest of your day, and how to hit those numbers without overthinking it. Two eggs gets you twelve grams. Add a cup of egg whites and you're most of the way to forty before you've touched your toast.

The protein chips and protein coffee aren't the answer, but they're not nothing either. Alyssa explains when the marketed stuff earns a place in your day, what to look for on the label, and why frozen edamame is doing more work than most people give it credit for.

Topics: protein intake, holistic nutrition, aging, high protein breakfast, budget nutrition
