ASK A STEVESTON INSIDER Do I need to have special protein if I start exercising this spring?

Definitely. As our body ages beyond 30, there is a natural decline in our muscles. This leads to decreased metabolism, mobility, balance, and tone. Exercise, especially resistance training, will add further stress and increase the normal break down of muscle tissue as part of natural turn-over. Hence, you must provide the body with the appropriate mix of essential amino acids to rebuild and strengthen your muscle, or risk subsequent damage to your muscles and joints. “Essential” amino acids, 9 in total, must be obtained through your diet. It is ideal if you can get these from whole food sources such as lean meats and tofu, but supplementing with a reputable and Health Canadaapproved product can ensure that you hit the proper balance. Innovite’s “MuscleRescue” is such a product. It is an all-natural, lactose-free, gluten-free blend of vegan amino acids, with a superior amino acid ratio than you would find in a typical whey protein. MuscleRescue was designed to preserve and increase muscle tissue growth. Available at Pharmasave Steveston Village, along with other Innovite and integrative wellness products and programs.” 30
