Protein is the hero macronutrient because it will offer satiety, stabilize blood sugar and offers essential amino acids for digestion and metabolic health. Protein helps our body build muscle and more insulin receptor sites, so we can use glucose more effectively. We build muscle through lifting weights and body weight resistance exercises. Functional strength is important as we age.
Great sources of protein are pasture-raised eggs, wild salmon, tofu, tempeh, organic natural-fed chicken, organic grass-fed beef, turkey, beans, chickpeas, lentils, and peas.
