Protein for Power

Protein powers your rehab gains. ACSM says 1.2g/kg body weight daily—80g for a 66kg person—rebuilds muscle post-weights or cardio. Chicken (30g/100g), eggs (6g each), or lentils (9g/cup) hit the mark. Spread it: 20-30g per meal. Studies show it boosts strength 10%, easing heart workload. Attia ties it to aging—muscle’s your shield. Post-workout shake or a turkey wrap—your heart’s flexing stronger!
