🦵💪 4 Muscle Recovery Tips You *Need* After a Workout 💥

Swipe ➡️ to feel stronger, recover faster & show your body some love! 💚

**1️⃣ Prioritize Sleep 😴**
Your body does the *real* repair work while you’re asleep!
Aim for 7–9 hours to help muscles rebuild and reduce soreness. Recovery happens in your REM cycle—not on your to-do list!

**2️⃣ Active Recovery 🔁**
Don’t just sit still—move!
Gentle walks, stretching, or light yoga keep blood flowing and help reduce lactic acid buildup.

**3️⃣ Check In With Your Body 🧘‍♀️**
Sore or sluggish? That’s your body talking.
Take rest days seriously and modify workouts as needed. Listening = healing.

**4️⃣ Fuel Up with Protein 🍳🍗**
Protein is key to muscle repair, especially within 30–60 min post-workout.
Not sure you’re getting enough?

✨ Try *Shaklee Life Shake* — sugar-free, plant-powered protein that supports muscle recovery, energy, and balanced nutrition. Smooth, satisfying & no bloat. 🙌

➡️ Your muscles work hard for you—treat them well!

💪 Why Weightlifting After 40 Is a *Game Changer* 💥**

Think lifting weights is just for bodybuilders? Think again. 👀
After 40, strength training becomes one of the *best tools* you have for navigating hormonal changes, boosting metabolism, and shedding stubborn belly fat. Here’s why:

➡️ **Hormones shift.** Estrogen & progesterone naturally decline, affecting energy, muscle mass, and where your body stores fat. Lifting helps rebalance by increasing testosterone and growth hormone (yes, even in women!).

➡️ **More muscle = more metabolism.** Strength training helps preserve and build lean muscle — which burns *more calories* at rest than fat. That’s a win for long-term weight loss 🔥

➡️ **Blood sugar balance.** Lifting helps your cells use insulin more efficiently, reducing cravings, mood swings & belly fat related to insulin resistance.

➡️ **Bone health boost.** Goodbye brittle bones! Resistance training strengthens more than just muscles — it helps keep your bones strong and reduces osteoporosis risk 💥

➡️ **Mood, energy, confidence.** Lifting improves sleep, sharpens focus, and increases serotonin & dopamine — aka your “feel good” hormones ✨

So if you’ve been stuck in cardio land 🏃‍♀️ wondering why the scale won’t budge… it’s time to pick up those weights.

**Strong is the new balanced. 🧘‍♀️💪**

🚫 Feeling bloated, achy, or dealing with mystery inflammation? It *might* be the oxalates. 👀⁣
⁣
Oxalates are naturally found in many healthy foods (like spinach, almonds, and sweet potatoes 🥬🥔), but in excess—or when your body isn’t detoxing efficiently—they can cause symptoms like:⁣
⁣
⚠️ Joint pain⁣
⚠️ Fatigue⁣
⚠️ Digestive issues⁣
⚠️ Brain fog⁣
⚠️ Bladder or v***a pain⁣
⁣
And if you’re a mom or a woman in your 40s navigating the *joys* of hormonal changes (🙃), your body may be extra sensitive right now. That’s because shifts in estrogen and liver function can affect how you process oxalates—hello, unwanted symptoms!⁣
⁣
Swipe through this carousel 👉 to learn:⁣
✨ What oxalates are⁣
✨ Why your symptoms might be linked⁣
✨ Foods high in oxalates (that may surprise you!)⁣
⁣
🎁 Want to take action? I’ve put together a **Free Oxalate Info Guide** to help you understand your body better and make smarter food choices without the overwhelm.⁣
