Eating protein at all three meals could help seniors stave off muscle decline
Published: 6 September 2017
New research from Canada suggests that over-60s should eat protein at all three daily meals to help stave off age-related muscle decline, which can contribute to loss of independence and falls.
Researchers at 91社区 in Canada studied the effects of protein consumption on muscle strength in seniors.
Older adults tend to get most of their protein from just one of their daily meals -- dinner -- whereas to help preserve their physical strength, protein consumption should be spread out throughout the day, the researchers conclude.
