The REAL REASON You're Losing Muscle Mass as You Age and How to Stop It and Even Reverse It
The average person loses 30% of their muscle mass by the time they're 60. But thanks to a new breakthrough, you can stay strong and independent as you age — and even have more muscle than you did when you were younger!
If you'd like to stay strong and independent as you age, then listen to the story of my friend Robert.
Robert is a “health nut.” He exercises daily. He watches what he eats. And he uses anti-aging treatments like bio-identical hormone replacement. So you'd think he would have no trouble staying strong and youthful.
But despite Robert's health regimen, he noticed that he started losing muscle mass as he got older. And he couldn't seem to stop it. Even worse, he started getting more injuries when he exercised. One time, he pulled a hamstring muscle and could not get it to heal. He tried chiropractors, acupuncture, body work, and more. But nothing worked.
Then Robert came across an amazing breakthrough that changed his life forever. Within 4 weeks of using this breakthrough, Robert healed his hamstring injury completely. Even more amazing, he put on 12 pounds of lean body mass! And he did it without exercising more or changing anything else about his lifestyle!
Today, Robert is 70 years old and he's in better shape than people 30 years younger. His muscles are strong. And his abs are flat and hard.
Robert's Secret
So what was this breakthrough that caused Robert to not only stop his muscle loss but actually reverse it? Believe it or not, it's protein. Yes, protein.
But Robert didn't get his amazing results by eating more protein or drinking protein shakes. No, he got those results by getting his body to make more protein!
Yes, Robert got his body to make more protein. And in a moment, I'm going to show you exactly how he did it. But first, let's review why proteins are so important.
Proteins form your muscles, bones, skin, and hair. They form the connective tissue that holds you together. They even make up the “messengers” in your body… including your hormones, your immune cells, your enzymes, and your brain chemicals.
Think about what that means. If you don't have enough proteins, you lose muscle mass. Your hair gets brittle and your skin sags. Your bones become weaker. Your immune system becomes sluggish.
But that's not all. Your sex drive suffers. You become anxious or depressed. You become more likely to fall and suffer a hip fracture… and less likely to recover from one.
I'm sure you can see why proteins are so important… and why not having enough can be bad for your health.
So where do all these important proteins come from? Most people think they come from the diet. But that's not entirely accurate. The truth is that proteins are made by your body. But your diet is important, because it supplies amino acids, which are the building blocks that create proteins. Learn More
