Essential Protein Intake for a Longer Life

Here’s the truth: as we age, we naturally lose muscle mass.
This condition—sarcopenia—can begin as early as our 30s. But muscle
isn’t just about looking fit. It’s about function, mobility, and
even metabolic health.

Muscle helps you:

• Maintain balance and prevent falls
• Regulate blood sugar and insulin
• Support strong bones and joint health
• Keep your metabolism active

The more lean muscle you maintain as you age, the more
resilient your body becomes. It’s a critical marker for lifespan and
healthspan.

Your body can’t build or repair muscle without the right
building blocks—and that’s where protein comes in.

Most people aren’t eating enough, especially those over 40.
Studies show that higher daily protein intake is associated with:

• Lower risk of frailty
• Better immune response
• Reduced muscle loss
• Improved metabolic function

But not all protein is created equal. Quality matters, and so does timing.

Let’s be real: hitting your daily protein goals from food
alone can be hard. That’s where supplementing with clean, high-quality
protein makes all the difference.

Here’s how to use protein supplements to your advantage:

• Start your day with 25–30g of fast-digesting protein (like a whey isolate shake)
• Fuel recovery post-workout with a protein shake to build and repair muscle
• Use as a meal builder when you’re on the go—blend with fruits, nut butter, and greens

At Alpha Gold Nutrition, our protein line is crafted
to support your body with high bioavailability, low sugar, and digestive
ease.

A good rule of thumb for active adults 30–50:

Aim for 0.7 to 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight
per day.

That means if you weigh 160 lbs, shoot for 112–160 grams of
protein. Space it out across the day, and prioritize complete proteins.

Longevity isn’t about living longer—it’s about living
better. Building muscle and prioritizing protein intake is one of the most
powerful anti-aging tools available.

The earlier you start, the better your long-term health
outcomes will be.

So here’s the bottom line:

Eat more protein. Build more muscle. Live a stronger, longer
life—with Alpha Gold Nutrition by your side.
