De ce ai nevoie de mai multe proteine după 50 de ani? Explicația oferită de oamenii de știință • Newsweek România

After age 50, individuals require more protein to maintain muscle mass and strength, with a recommended intake of 1.2–1.6 g per kg of body weight. Insufficient protein can hinder daily activities and increase the risk of falls and fractures. Aging leads to natural muscle loss, and older muscles absorb protein less effectively, necessitating higher intake. Adequate protein supports recovery from injuries and surgeries, and is vital for immune function. Most people can meet their protein needs through regular foods rather than supplements.
