  • Power of Protein (PDF)

    Power of Protein (PDF)

    Dear Friends, It is with much passion that I’m writing, updating and organizing this information to share with you. My desk and all available space has been literally covered with the latest research as well as the timeless ‘golden oldies’ of protein information, stories, and how that translates into the dietary guidelines and grams per pound of desired body weight for today, both for the sedentary and for the very active. Did you know that we lose 5-10 lbs. of muscle every decade if we’re not doing strength training? Wayne Wescott, B.S., M.S. Phys. Ed, PSU and Ph.D from Ohio State. Dr Wayne Campbell adds: If you’re between 50 – 80 years of age, you need 50% more protein than the RDA just to maintain. 25% more protein above the RDA if you’re younger. I invite you to journey with me. Let’s get informed and get vibrantly healthy together. Ever hear the story of the little boy who’s grandfather instructs him on how to skip a stone across water? As the ripples are being created the Grandfather explains how we are like those ripples. Each ripple has an effect on the next. Likewise, our vibrations that we set forth into the Universe have an affect on many. And the better we feel, the happier we are and that can be contagious! Let’s be contagious together. I’m smiling at you, :o) Linda The Story of Protein The word ‘protein’ from Greek, literally means of ‘first importance.’ The ‘building blocks’ of protein are the amino acids.
