Why Protein Matters for Older Adults 🌟
As we age, our bodies change, affecting muscle mass and overall health. Protein is key to staying strong, mobile, and healthy.

Here's why:

Preserving Muscle Mass: We lose 30-50% of muscle mass between ages 40 and 80. Protein helps prevent this, reducing fall risk and maintaining mobility.

Vital Functions: Protein is crucial for hormones, enzymes, and neurotransmitters, supporting various bodily processes.

Increased Needs: Chronic conditions and inflammation in older adults raise protein requirements.

How Much?: Aim for 0.45-0.55 grams per pound of body weight daily (68-83 grams for a 150-pound person) for optimal health.

Include protein-rich foods like Greek yogurt, chicken, and beans in your diet! 🥦🍗🥚
