Kiwi Monkey Breakfast Shake

Finding it difficult to lose weight?

Maybe it’s time to ditch those low calorie refined cereals.

A breakfast shake made with whey protein is a great way to give your thyroid and adrenals a boost in the morning. Did you know, as we age we begin to lose between 0.5% and 2% of our muscle mass per year? This equates to as much as a kilo of muscle a year in some women. (No wonder our arms start to jiggle when we wave.) Many scientists believe that older adults should eat more protein to compensate for the slowdown in muscle repair that accompanies aging. This makes good sense, as our muscles, hormones, skin, skeleton, thyroid and brain all depend on quality protein being readily available in the diet every day.
A study published in the Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic and Neonatal Nursing concluded that hormonal symptoms were significantly worse when blood sugar levels were low. Eating regular low-glycemic meals through out the day every three to four hours will help you manage energy levels, fatigue and headaches.
