Why You Should Add More Protein To Your Diet As You Get Older

Do you need more protein as you get older?

The answer is YES.

Increasing protein especially as we get into our 50s can be key!

As we get older we are less able to utilize protein as efficiently, which means increasing our protein intake is key if we want to not only maintain but even build strength and muscle.

Losing muscle as we get older puts us at greater risk for injury and is also often why we feel our metabolism slows down and it is so much harder to lose weight.

More protein can also help improve our bone health while avoiding the muscle loss we often see as a result of getting older.

That’s why if you want to remain functionally strong and fit until your final day on this planet, you’ll want to focus on increasing your protein intake, shooting for even 30-40 grams per meal, especially if you’re active!
