Older Adults May Need More Protein Than Guidelines Suggest
Original: If You’re Over 60, You Probably Need to Eat More Protein Than You Think
Nutrition coverage highlights that people over 60 likely need more daily protein than standard recommendations indicate. Aging reduces the body's ability to use protein efficiently, and higher intake is linked to preserving muscle mass, strength, and mobility in later life. Health writers are urging older adults to spread protein-rich foods like eggs, fish, dairy, and legumes across meals rather than relying on current baseline targets.
Why now: Growing public interest in healthy aging and muscle preservation is driving renewed attention to protein advice for people over 60.
