Eating Health Tips

Preventing aging and muscular loss is essential for middle age and above. Popeye was right about eating spinach can make you stronger with more muscle. The older you get the more wrist of muscle mass and strength,so eating healthy is essential for all of us to look more muscular.Let me explain  it's apparent that as we grow older mass is lost. Although this loss is slowed somewhat by weight lifting and vigorous aerobic exercise,it still is evident. Athletes in their 60s typically demonstrate less muscle than they had in their 40s. Eating healthy alkaline food is the key  for  putting on more muscular mass.While prevent muscle loss.

☼ Research shows why nitrogen,which is an essential component of muscle protein,is giving up by the body at a faster rate than it can be taken in as we get older.This is due to a gradual change in kidney function that comes with aging producing an acidic state in the blood. Keeping the body alkaline is the key for keeping also gaining muscle mass. Again eating healthy alkaline food is what we need. So what food is the right one?

☼Yes you already know what food group, basically  fruits and vegetables increase blood alkalinity. But there are few like bean that are acidic. Now for the acidity foods,like  grains,meats, nuts, beans, dairy, fish, and eggs increase the blood's acidity. If your diet is high on the latter expect to lose muscle mass plus bone calcium as you get older.

☼Research study rank foods in terms of their effect on blood acidity and alkalinity. The food that has the most acidic effect therefore contributing to a loss of nitrogen and ultimately muscle is parmesan cheese.
Eating healthy food like raisins among vegetables,spinach was the most alkaline food.
