Map out your meals ahead to include options that boost muscle and bone strength.
Let’s dive a little deeper…
What you eat—not just working out—plays a role in getting stronger. That’s why eating with strength in mind is about adding protein, calcium, and vitamin D into your routine.
○ Protein powers up your bones, muscles, cells, and blood. It also helps you maintain lean body mass and lose fat, all while shedding pounds. (Win-win!)
○ You’ve probably heard that calcium is great for your bones. Did you know that pairing it with vitamin D-rich foods is even better? Opt for foods like sardines, milk, cheese, and certain cereals.
○ Meat and dairy aren’t the only foods that can make you stronger. Some fruits, veggies, and grains also contain protein, calcium, or vitamin D.
Got your plan in place? Good! See what you’ve got at home, and head to the store for anything else you need.
