The recommended dietary allowance set by the Institute of Medicine says adults need 0.36 grams of protein per pound of body weight. For someone weighing 125 pounds, it is about 45 grams a day and 70 grams for someone who weighs 195 pounds. What about older adults?
Experts tell us older adults need to eat about 0.45 to 0.54 grams of protein daily. We lose about 1 percent of our muscle each year after age thirty. This loss is fairly evident in most adults as they get older. Some people maintain muscle a little better especially those who engage in strength training exercises about twice per week, yet the decline in muscle mass with age still continues.
Adequate muscle mass is about more than looking nice. It is critical for getting up out of a chair or car, walking up stairs or carrying groceries or a child. And...it is not just thin, older people who are at risk of losing muscle mass. Overweight and obese people also lose muscle mass as they age. It is just not as visible as it is on thinner people because of their body fat, but the debilitating process is the same.
What do observational studies tell us?
The Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study followed 2,732 men and women in Pittsburgh and Memphis for three years. These people were well-functioning, community-dwelling individuals in their 70's. All of them in this study lost muscle mass. Those who consumed the most protein lost 40 percent less muscle than those who consumed less protein. source: Nutrition Action Newsletter
It is imperative that we eat enough protein daily to maintain our muscle mass especially beginning at the age of 30. Adequate protein intake plus strength exercises helps us tremendously.
Creative ways to get more protein in your diet easily is to use the Life's Abundance Plant Protein Powder daily. This mix comes in chocolate or vanilla and mixes well to make a great tasting, silky smooth shake. You can also use it in recipes (found on this blog), for pre or post workouts, breakfast or whenever you need a healthy boost of energy from protein or a quick on-the-go snack. With a superior taste and texture, it mixes easily with water into a silky smooth, rich and satisfying shake. Add to smoothies, pancakes, baked goods, oatmeal and more for a delicious way to increase protein.
At only 100 calories, it contains 14 grams of high-quality protein in every serving. For comparison, one-half of a boneless chicken breast, cooked is about 13 grams of protein and 115 calories.
Life’s Abundance Plant Protein is absolutely delicious and you can feel great about drinking it every day, because each and every ingredient was carefully chosen for its quality and safety.
While other protein powders use sunflower oil, we decided not to use this oil because it is high in omega-6 fatty acids, a fat that is much too prevalent in the American diet. Our Life’s Abundance Plant Protein contains non-GMO coconut oil powder, which is a great source of beneficial fatty acids that are easily absorbed. In addition, this health-promoting oil adds to the delicious taste and smooth texture of our blend.
