“Breakfast trick” REVIVES your aging muscles

As the old adage goes…

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

You won’t get an argument from me there. A healthy, nutritious breakfast is a great way to start your day… it gives you long-lasting energy… and it delivers essential vitamins and nutrients to your body.

Well, I’ve got another reason you shouldn’t skimp on a healthy breakfast…

And if you do it right… it can BOOST and even REVIVE your aging muscles and strength.

You’ll be clamoring for a booth at your favorite breakfast joint after reading this!

A Japanese research study found that eating protein EARLY in the day (specifically during breakfast) builds muscles BETTER than eating it at night!

Eating protein daily is critical when it comes to maintaining your body’s muscle mass and overall strength, which can help prevent age-related weakness.

Protein also consists of long-chain amino acids that promote the growth of your skeletal muscles. These essentially help your body ‘move’ – making it more critical to consume an adequate amount of protein.

But why is eating it in the MORNING better than the evening?

It all has to do with your circadian rhythm – your body’s internal biological clock that controls your metabolism, sleep cycle, and overall development.

But as the day wears on, your circadian rhythm tends to ‘slow down’ to ready your body for sleep. This also means your body is less efficient at absorbing vital proteins.

So, eating a good supply of protein with your morning breakfast ensures your body is absorbing it.

And I don’t know about you, but breakfast ‘proteins’ like mouthwatering bacon, sausage, Greek yogurt, and eggs are some of the best foods out there!

One of my ‘go-to’ ways to eat protein at breakfast is making casseroles packed with eggs, meats like bacon or sausage, cheese, and spinach – which are all foods packed with protein that will keep you full and nourished throughout the morning.

And best of all, many can be made in advance so you can quickly and easily serve yourself breakfast during the week.

Do a quick Google search and you can find some of your own go-to recipes.

To loving breakfast,
