RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

What did you eat yesterday & already today? How much protein was on your plate? Starting around age 30, we all begin to lose approximately 3-8% of our muscle mass per decade. As well as bone density. Strength training can help preserve muscle, as can protein. 40% of your daily calories should come from healthy protein sources: LEAN meats (white), seafood, legumes, low-cal dairy products, tofu, beans and unsalted/raw nuts. Protein also promotes cellular repair/growth and boosts your immune system.
