FOCUS ON OVER 50S
EASY LOW CARBING
By 2050, one in four people in the UK will
be aged 65 years and over - an increase
from approximately one in five in 2018
and muscle loss and frailty are seen as
a normal part of the ageing process.
Protein is needed in our food in order to
support the growth and maintenance of
our muscles and bones, as well as used
to make skin, hair, nails and is also a vital
component for our metabolism. The role
of protein in muscle health is critical for
those who are looking to develop their
muscle strength / maintain their muscle
(something that is vital for the over 50s
and for are dieters). When you lose
weight, you inevitably lose a mixture of
body fat and muscle. Eating a higher
protein diet, ideally combined with some
resistance training, can help to reduce the
loss of muscle when dieting. As you age,
your appetite starts to decrease, and your
body digests food more slowly, it can then
be very difficult to consume the foods
you need to maintain a healthy diet. To
consume 120g of protein per day through
meat or plants can be challenging. Tempo
