How Much Protein Do You Need After 50?

Protein helps to keep our muscles strong, which is important for maintaining the balance and mobility needed to continue to live independently as we age. Yet, unlike with fruits and veggies, we may not focus on getting enough of this important nutrient. And recommendations on exactly how much protein older adults need vary.
Are you getting enough protein? 🤗💝

The three macronutrients — fats, carbs, and protein — affect your body in different ways.

Studies show that protein is by far the most filling. It helps you feel more full — with less food (3Trusted Source).

This is partly because protein reduces your level of the hunger hormone ghrelin. It also boosts the levels of peptide YY, a hormone that makes you feel full.

These effects on appetite can be powerful. In one study, increasing protein intake from 15% to 30% of calories made overweight women eat 441 fewer calories each day without intentionally restricting anything.

If you need to lose weight or belly fat, consider replacing some of your carbs and fats with protein. It can be as simple as making your potato or rice serving smaller while adding a few extra bites of meat or fish. 💝

Feeding Your Inner Ecosystem

Properly feeding our gut bacteria starts a biochemical domino effect that influences not just our digestion but also our overall health. A well-cared-for community of gut bacteria will affect your ability to resist diseases like cancer and diabetes, influence your ability to heal wounds, and instruct your brain to release chemicals that make you more social. We are just beginning to learn how our microbiome helps our body resist diseases ranging from inflammatory bowel disease, depression, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and even Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Everything you put in your mouth — fruits, vegetables, carbs, meats, junk food, soda, artificial sweeteners — feeds your human cells and then becomes food for your gut microbiome. Your bacteria can metabolize food components that the human body can’t digest, and this can create beneficial bioactives that protect your health.🤗💝

What is the normal human aging timeline?

Life in the human body takes place at microscopic level as each cell undergoes daily metabolic reactions. The side effects of these reactions accumulate over time and, after many years, eventually become toxic to the body, resulting in progressive decline, greater frailty, and eventually death.

The human aging timeline is also driven by interactions between our genes and the environment. Our genes may contribute up to a quarter of our predisposition towards natural longevity due to the increased presence of genes that alter cell metabolism and cell reproduction to favour slower aging.

Some developmental factors, such as perinatal conditions and birth weight, have also been found to have an impact. Smoking is thought to decrease longevity, not in the least because it increases the risk of several deadly diseases. Conversely, a diet rich in leafy greens may contribute to longer life expectancy.

Everything grows old. As you age, you may notice an extra wrinkle on your forehead or lower energy levels.

Gene expression goes awry.

Certain parts of your DNA are read and translated into physical traits. A group of proteins in your cells controls which genes ultimately get expressed. This process is called epigenetic moderation, and it's what ensures your skin cells are different from brain cells, even though they use the same set of DNA.

But as we age, the proteins bound to DNA become looser and less accurate, and genes start to get expressed when they shouldn't be, or get silenced in error. This means some necessary proteins aren't being made, and harmful, unnecessary proteins are

ageLOC® R2 is delivered as alternating Day and Night formulas to help balance two interconnected aspects of youthfulness. ageLOC R2 Day promotes youthful gene expression related to cellular energy production while ageLOC R2 Night promotes youthful gene expression related to cellular purification. Together, ageLOC R2 targets aging at its source to promote physical vigor, mental acuity, as well as to support the body's ability to neutralize and remove cellular waste and metabolic byproducts. 🤗💝

You've probably heard the term superfoods—it's often applied to things like brown rice, spinach, yogurt, tomatoes and other healthy foods —but have you ever wondered what makes a food super? It's about efficiency: Superfoods not only pack more nutritional punch per bite than other foods do, they also have other properties that directly support the immune system, cut down on inflammation in the body, support mental health, and boost energy, stamina and longevity. You can't ask for much more than that from a single food.🤗💝

Tips for Improving Your Energy
Improving your diet is the first step you should take to get your health in line, and this includes your energy. Here are some other tips for energy:

Eliminate all simple sugars. Eat more berries and other fruits.
Eat organic raw vegetables, and include more nuts, seeds, and herbs into your daily regimen.
Be sure to eat enough calories to provide yourself with enough energy to think and be active.
Get plenty of quality sleep each night, shooting for at least seven to nine hours.
Get some sun for adequate vitamin D. Sunlight balances serotonin and melatonin and stabilizes your circadian rhythms.
Reducing stress gets your body out of the fight-or-flight state and into the relaxed state, which boosts energy.🤗💝

Having experienced menopause in my late 30s (now in my 50s) I’m well versed and experienced in the ups and downs, without really knowing what was going on until my late 40s 😁
Why does menopause cause fatigue?

Menopausal fatigue is often thought to be the result of hormone imbalances. As hormone levels, particularly oestrogen, fluctuate, we will notice differences in our energy levels. It is when the level of oestrogen is at rock bottom that we will experience fatigue.

These hormonal changes can influence our normal sleep pattern, so that women who had always slept well before the menopause find they are suddenly struggling to achieve adequate restful sleep. This is often a cause of fatigue during the day.

There are lifestyle causes which could also trigger fatigue. Many menopausal women feel that they are under greater time restraints, and often other menopause symptoms such as memory lapses can make a woman feel stressed. This is likely to result in an episode of fatigue.

Good evening to you all 😊
My sincerest of apologies for the lack of activity on our page.
Our journeys in life take many routes and at times our time is invested in those that need us the most.
Never forget how important each individual is to each other.
Lots of fun educational times ahead 🤗💝
