How can I support my muscles?
You can support your muscles with protein and magnesium.
After a weight loss surgery, you can eat less and get fewer nutrients. To support your muscles, you need protein and magnesium.
Protein
Protein is important for muscle growth and strong muscles. You can eat protein-rich foods like eggs, chicken breast or almonds. You can also add protein powder to shakes to create delicious protein-rich meals.
Magnesium
Magnesium is an important mineral that contributes to flexible, strong muscles and normal nervous-system function. Therefore, athletes, people over 50, and people who want to become healthier often take extra magnesium. In that case a supplement like magnesium citrate is a good addition to your diet. Magnesium cutrate is also easy for your body to absorb.
Do you already experience (persistent) muscle problems? Please consult your doctor for advice.
