(https://www.foundmyfitness.com/newsletter) Protein is still (somehow) controversial. Should we restrict protein in favor of longevity and reducing cancer risk, or should we maximize our intake in favor of building muscle mass and enhancing performance? The answer lies somewhere in the middle. But one thing is for certain—the current recommendations don't accurately reflect the scientific evidence. That's why I sat down with Dr. Peter Attia as a guest on his ... aging cancer muscle strength protein exercise

These properties arise from its potent redox potential due to its capacity to donate electrons to oxidized molecules. Even in small quantities vitamin C can protect critical molecules in the body such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) from damage by reactive oxygen species, which are generated during normal metabolism, by active immune cells, and through exposure to toxins and pollutants (e.g., certain chemotherap... cancer nutrition exercise interesting
