(Next to keep) the secret of energetic aging

Fatigue, lack of energy, tiredness, loss of muscle strength. With age, the first problems associated with it appear. Specifically, muscle loss begins to be noticed around age 45. But just because it’s a physiological aspect doesn’t mean it can’t be avoided or dealt with. And what is the best weapon to stay strong and healthy for as long as possible? A good diet associated with regular exercise in addition to taking nutritional supplements for example, Meritene – Strength and Vitality from Nestlé, a complex of nutrients designed to support muscle health in adulthood.

Simple self-care steps that are accessible to everyone. I just want it. And we need to start now: to age healthy, we need to start taking care of our health now. This is the only way to guarantee a better future.

Water, vegetables, fruits and protein

“We are what we eat. As we age food plays an increasingly fundamental role The statement was made by Daniela Diaz, nutritionist and director of Nestlé Health Science, in an interview with Manhã CM. She added that for the body to remain healthy and functioning, it needs four essential nutrients: water, vegetables, fruits and proteins.

“We are made mostly of water,” explains Daniela Diaz. So, when we feel tired and low on energy, the first thing to ask is: did I drink water today? Sometimes the problem can be solved with just two glasses of water, which are so often forgotten in the bustle of everyday life. We must find strategies to drink the required amount of water every day. How? We include this in our daily routine: a glass of water when we wake up, another at breakfast, a glass of water before lunch, with coffee… at moments that we repeat every day. A large bottle of water that you carry with you throughout the day can also be a solution.

Secondly, says Daniela Diaz, It is necessary to ensure the consumption of vegetables and fruits., ensuring we consume essential vitamins for energy and health. And what is this quantity? “We need four doses of vegetables and two to three pieces of fruit a day,” he assures. While fruits are easy to count, vegetables can be more difficult. But the nutritionist simplifies it: there are two soups and two salads. Therefore, there is always soup and salad for lunch and dinner. “This will give us the vitamins and minerals we need.”

Thirdly, says Daniela Diaz, we need protein. “As we age, we lose muscle, which is mainly made up of proteins. Therefore, to avoid this, it is important to consume the right amount of protein in addition to regular exercise.” And where are these proteins? In meat, fish, eggs and legumes. “As we age, we need more and more protein because we lose muscle,” explains the nutritionist. To rebuild this muscle or try to maintain it, you need to exercise regularly, such as walking and strength training, and eat foods rich in protein.

Food reinforcement
