Protein for Every Age: How Much Do You Really Need?
Why protein matters more as we age, and simple ways to get enough every day.
Protein supports muscle, bone, immunity and satiety. As we get older, our bodies become less efficient at using it, so needs often increase.
A practical approach is to include a palm-sized portion of protein at every meal — eggs, Greek yogurt, fish, chicken, tofu, beans or lentils.
Spreading protein evenly across the day helps your body use it well. Pair it with strength training for the biggest benefit.
