Don’t Forget Protein and Good Nutrition
Exercise provides the stimulus for stronger muscles, but the body also needs adequate nutrition.
Protein is particularly important for maintaining muscle tissue.
Useful protein sources include eggs, fish, poultry, yogurt, milk, beans, lentils, tofu and lean meats.
A balanced diet should also provide vitamins and minerals needed for normal muscle, bone and nerve function.
But supplements aren’t automatically the answer.
If weakness is caused by inactivity, nerve disease, medication effects or another medical problem, taking large doses of vitamins won’t necessarily fix it.
