ADVICE

Prioritize Protein To Preserve Metabolism

  • Prioritize adequate protein: aim for roughly 100–120 grams daily with larger amounts at breakfast and dinner to support muscle and metabolism.
  • Build muscle to preserve metabolism and glucose/fat usage, since aging reduces muscle-building efficiency.

ADVICE

Ramp Up Fiber From Real Foods
