The Power of Protein
If you want to keep your body and face toned and firm, eat your protein every day. Protein helps control hunger and stabilizes blood sugar levels, helping you avoid highs and lows. Spikes in blood sugar create an inflammatory state in the body, and adequate protein helps prevent this.
I try to eat some protein at every meal because it keeps me full and we cannot store protein in our bodies. It is used to build and repair body tissue, thus it is essential to maintain our health and strength, as well as skin, hair and muscle tone. I think the best sources of protein are cold-water fish such as wild salmon and halibut. Both have additional anti-inflammatory effects. Get your protein from lean sources, not high-fat steaks and burgers.
