"Hey, Where Did All The Muscle Go....?"

* The Muscle Mending Meal *

...because we need meat on our bones!

 

*

At some point, we all will notice how

gravity and time begin not being so kind.....

~

For runners, the bicep muscle in our arms seems

to be the first indicator and is the area

most affected by this.

~

It all begins with that little bit of loose skin

hanging above where the arm bends...without any

forewarning, what used to be smooth skin and defined

muscle has transformed itself into

something that resembles a deflated party ballon...

~

It's part of the aging process and part of what

can happen when proper calories are not consumed

correctly after putting in long training miles.

~

It is important to eat a meal, primarily of protien,

a 1/2 hour to 1 hour, post workout. This allows

for muscles to repair and replenish themeselves before

any "wasting" can occur.

A favorite "Replenishing Plate" of mine:

*

"The Muscle Mending Meal"

 

2 unsalted sardine fillets (packed in water)

1 cup cooked Farro

1 sliced hard-boiled egg

1/4 sliced avocado

1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves

Garden fresh tomato wedges

Sprinkling of Feta Cheese

Drizzling of Champagne Vinaigrette Dressing

A grinding of pepper to taste...

mmm, mmm, good!!

Though not an attractive plate to photograph,

"The Muscle Mending Meal" is tasty and good for you, too!!

Along with a regular weight lifting routine,

"The Muscle Mending Meal" should help build back biceps 

and banish those muscle-loss woes!!
