Muscle, bone, sleep and patience all start slipping in the 40s, quietly. Here are the health habits that protect them, in order, with the numbers behind each one.
Real food with big flavor.
Protein, movement and recovery that fit a real schedule.
5 notes
A ready protein, something fresh and a carb you cooked ahead. Then season it like you mean it.
Many women do well aiming for about 25 to 30 grams at each meal. Breakfast is where most of us fall short.
Your liver and kidneys already handle detoxing. Most detox teas mainly act as laxatives. Put that money toward water, fiber, real food and sleep instead.
Extra virgin olive oil for most cooking and finishing. Avocado oil, ghee or coconut oil for high heat. Butter when you want flavor.
Rice and grains: a hot skillet with a splash of water, 2 to 3 minutes. Sweet potatoes and proteins: oven or air fryer at 375 to 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes.
