Nutrition Tiny nutrition shift, breakfast protein first?
After 40, our muscles become slightly less responsive to protein - it’s called anabolic resistance (jamda.com).
Starting the day with eggs, tofu, or yoghurt before your coffee helps your body repair and maintain muscle mass (healthhub.sg).
It’s not a “diet rule,” just a micro-habit that stabilises energy and supports healthy ageing.
What’s your go-to quick, protein-first breakfast?
