Benefits of Omega-3/Fish Oil

Most people need about half a gram of protein for every pound they weigh (150 lb person needs about 75 g protein daily).
Muscle mass loss begins as early as age 40.
People lose 0.5 – 2% of their muscle strength per year from age 50 on.
Decreased muscle mass leads to:
- Decreased bone density
- Decreased metabolism
- Decreased balance
- Muscle loss is reversible with exercise and adequate protein intake.
- You should boost your protein intake if you’re active, injured, or recovering from surgery.
- When protein intake is too low, it causes protein energy de ciency, associated with:
  - Decreased immune function
  - Increased risk of bone fractures
  - Increased mortality
  - Dementia
- Teens and the elderly need more protein
