What protein does to osteoarthritis in seniors

"I’ve been taking NativePath Collagen for almost 3 years now. I recently had a bone density scan, and I’ve INCREASED my bone density. In the last two years, my Lumbar Spine T score improved by 1.0, and my Total Hip T score improved by 0.4. My doctor was thrilled! Thank you for your wonderful collagen supplement! I’ll be taking it for years to come.” (real customer review)

Here are 7 reasons everyone over 50 should be taking THIS kind of protein.

PS: If you really care about your bones…

1. Don't Skip Meals Beforehand 

Skipping breakfast and lunch on Thanksgiving to save calories? Think again! Dr. Lisa Young, a nutrition professor at NYU, warns against this. It could lead to overeating later. Instead, have balanced, small meals throughout the day. How about some eggs and fruit for breakfast and veggies with hummus for lunch?

2. Get Moving in Fun Ways 

Turkey Trots are popular, but they’re not the only way to stay active. Why not try a high-intensity interval workout at home? Keeping active helps control your appetite and manage those Thanksgiving calories.

3. Load Up on Veggies and Protein 

Indulge, but wisely. Fill most of your plate with veggies and lean proteins. A bit of turkey, some carrots, and Brussels sprouts sound perfect. And if you're craving carbs, go for a small portion of mashed potatoes or a muffin.

4. Mindful Eating is Key 

Slow down and savor each bite. Mindful eating helps you enjoy your food more and recognize when you're full. Notice the flavors, chew thoroughly, and be grateful for the nourishment.

5. Don't Sweat the Small Stuff 

Finally, don't obsess over every calorie. It's about balance, not restriction. Enjoy your meal, and remember, one day of indulgence won't derail your fitness journey.

6. Incorporate Red Light Therapy 

Now, let's add an innovative twist to our wellness routine - Red Light Therapy (RLT). It's not just for skin health; it can be a game-changer for overall well-being. Post-Thanksgiving, indulge in a relaxing RLT session.

It's known to aid digestion, enhance cellular health, and even help with those post-feast blues. Just 15 minutes under the soothing red glow can boost your energy levels and aid recovery, making it a perfect pre or post-dinner ritual.

So, enjoy your Thanksgiving and remember, it's all about balance!

That’s all for today,
