Discover how to easily incorporate EAAs into your routine and achieve your health and wellness goals.
In order to get the benefits out of the EAAs we need to support our bodies with great nutrition and daily exercise as well. These lifestyle programs are meant to be a three pronged approach.

- Anyone that wants to age well and stay active throughout their lives!

- Figure out your basal metabolic rate and how much food you need to achieve your goals
- Get about 25% of your calories from quality protein
- Minimize processed foods and refined sugar.
The Importance Exercise & Resistance Training
USE IT OR LOSE IT.
Incorporating movement through your day is a vital part of overall health. Sitting all day is unnatural for the human body and can quickly undo all the benefits you get from one gym session. Try to build your schedule around the following guidelines:
- Aerobic training 30-60min a day
- Resistance training 2-3x a week
- If you’re at a desk get up every 90mins and walk around
Benefits of exercise:
- Resistance training “primes” the muscle to produce protein at an accelerated rate. Taking an EAA supplement ensures that protein synthesis wont be limited by the availability of EAAs
- Training increases the ability to use fat as an energy source
