The foods you eat play a massive role in how energized you feel—especially after 40. As metabolism shifts and energy needs change, focusing on increasing protein is a necessity. You must also pay close attention to eating a nutrient-dense diet that helps every system work efficiently. Eating for energy, and to preserve muscle mass should be your goal.
Why Eating for Energy Matters:
- Stabilize Blood Sugar Levels: Balanced meals prevent energy crashes and keep you feeling steady throughout the day.
- Support Muscle Health: Protein aids muscle repair and growth, which is crucial as we age.
- Enhance Brain Function: Nutrient-rich foods like leafy greens, nuts, and berries support cognitive health.
- Boost Metabolism: Protein-rich foods require more energy to digest, giving your metabolism a natural lift.
Why Eating More Protein Matters:
- Prioritize Protein at Every Meal: Include sources like eggs, Greek yogurt, lean meats, tofu, or legumes. Drink clean sources of protein daily when you can’t eat a meal. Opt for a protein superfood combo such as Rootz Nutrition’s Protein Superfood.
- Opt for Whole Foods: Choose complex carbs like quinoa, sweet potatoes, and veggies to sustain energy.
- Snack Smart: Keep nuts, cheese, or protein bars handy for quick, energizing snacks.
- Stay Hydrated: Sometimes fatigue is simply dehydration—aim for 8 glasses of water daily.
