Be STRONG at Any Age (Here’s How)

Aging well boils down to just one thing: your muscles.

You see, keeping strong, healthy muscles is the secret to staying healthy, mobile, and sharp in your golden years.

But you don’t have to be a bodybuilderto keep seeingthese results.

There are simple, effective ways to boost your muscles at any age.

And you can get started today.

First, let me tell you WHY you want healthy muscles:

  • They allow you to move around and exercise – and that’s critical to your health and your independence.
  • Good muscle tone helps keep joints and bones healthy.
  • Low muscle tone is a common feature in many chronic diseases such as osteoporosis, diabetes, obesity, fragile bones, and even stress.
  • Muscles play a strong role in your metabolism – if you want to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight, good muscle tone is a key.
  • More muscle increases insulinsensitivity which helps to keep your blood sugar low.
  • The amount of muscle you have determines how well you might survive a long-term illness.

Now, of course, you know what I’m going to say next.

One of the most important elements of muscle building is exercise. But you also need the right nutrients in the right amounts to build muscle.

Let me show you:

  • Magnesium helps build muscles, promotes muscle relaxation, and prevents cramping.
  • Iron helps to bring oxygen to your muscles. This is important because without oxygen your muscles can’t function properly. Do not take iron unless you consult your doctor first.
  • Vitamin D is necessary for immune function and to strengthen your bones, but it’s also important for muscle growth maintenance because it helps build testosterone – which is critical for good bone muscle building (in both men and women).
  • Protein is absolutely essential to building muscles and help repair. Eating a wide variety of proteins is your best bet.
  • Vitamin B 12 it’s also important for oxygen delivery to muscles.
