Dear Larry:
I am over 50 now and workout on a regular basis. Most recently I see my energy declining, easier to add fat. and am not as strong. otherwise I'm in great health. What would you suggest? Harry
Larry:
I would initially address my diet and nutrition. Exercise breaks the body down and wears it out in a healthy way. This triggers the body to repair itself and become better and more capable IF adequate nutrition and rest are available. Basic nutrition would include proper amounts of protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Try to get these from healthy sources. You also want to make sure that you have an adequate supply of smaller nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. This would come from a comprehensive multi vitamin/mineral supplement such as Ultra 4 by Beverly International.
Also, you could have a deficiency in hormones such as testosterone and growth hormone. These can be enhanced by supplements such as Ageless Growth or Powerful, and ZMA. These will also improve the quality of your sleep which is crucial to proper healing and recovery. For excellent dietary information and food options you may want to read Jay Robb’s books and refer to Beverly International’s website www.bodybuildingworld.com.
