Best Time to Eat Protein to Age Better Bonus Replay EP 44

March is National Nutrition Month, so we decided to re-share this episode from May 2022.   Host Barbara Hannah Grufferman talks with Stephen Perrine and Heidi Skolnik, co-authors of The Whole Body Reset: Your Weight-Loss Plan for a Flat Belly, Optimum Health & a Body You'll Love at Midlife and Beyond. They share how to stop age-related weight gain with the power of protein timing.  So much of the nutrition information that we hear is not geared to people in mid-life and beyond. Stephen realized that he wanted to validate the nutritional information and that’s when Heidi shared a study that busts the metabolism myth.  Metabolism doesn’t slow down as we age.  Here’s what is true; we lose muscle every year from age 30-40 onward at a rate of 1% per year. By our mid-50’s that really begins to add up. Our muscles also become resistant to growth. That’s why we need more protein more often to encourage muscle growth.  The good news: most of us are eating enough protein. What’s not happening is the timing of protein in our meals to optimize muscle retention and muscle growth.  For those in our 50’s and older, you need to have at least 25 grams of protein in the morning to make sure we aren’t losing muscle all day long. This also helps to control hunger and provides energy for a busy day.  What you’ll hear more about in this episode:  Intermittent fasting  Calorie restriction diets  Reducing inflammation  B12 needs  Calcium requirements  Probiotics for gut health  Fiber quantities and types  Phytonutrients  Whey protein powder   Does the body reset work?  Hear how the AARP 12-week Whole Body Resent program worked.
