Apart from genetic factors, right quantity and quality of food can influence your aging process. As an example, read on to learn about details.

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND

Don’t we all want to stay young as long as possible? This is, independently of your genetics, manifold possible. If we live up to appropriate lifestyle, with special reference to those nutrients our body and mind needs. Not only for health and longevity in general but for support of certain physical and mental issues specifically. To avoid individual health issues.
 

PROTEIN – MAGIC NUTRITION SCIENTIFICALLY VERIFIED
​

In this context, yes, protein plays a major role already historically in ancient Greece. Derived from the Greek term proteios meaning ‘first’ and ‘primary’ in nutrition. As it supports the buildup of bones, skin, muscles, teeth and other parts of our body.
 
According to research at, inter alia, McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, proteins are strongly related to the medical problem of sarcopenia meaning frailty, as an age-related type of frailty in second half of our lifetime.
 
Scientifically verified also in the U.S. at, inter alia,

- Texas A&M University
at College Station, TX

- Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, MI
   &
- U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM)
In Natick, MA  

As well as internationally at, inter alia,

- University of Stirling
in Stirling, UK

   &
- Waseda University
in Tokorozawa, Japan
 

​Leaves us with the question –

How much protein is appropriate?
​

According to above mentioned scientific verification, a daily input of 1.2 grams per 1 kg of body weight is recommended. With special reference to age bracket of 50 and beyond.  
 

Unfortunately yet, the U.S. population in this age-related frame is well behind of daily consumption of 1.2 grams of protein per kilo of body weight. As in fact only some 25% of the U.S. population over age 50 get enough protein.
 
Such as many others consume up to and even more than 2 grams per kilo body weight, potentially leading in many cases to different physical and mental health issuers like
 

- weight gain
- heart disease
- kidney/liver injuries
- bone-related health issues
- headache
- dehydration
- intestinal discomfort
- fatigue
- nausea
- irritation
- seizures  

Appropriate sources of protein
 

This leaves us with the next important question how and where from we get
‘appropriate’ amount of protein with regular nutrition.

 
Basically, protein is available from animal- and plant-derived sources as followAs based on research at, inter alia,
- National University of Singapore in Singapore 
    &

- Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, MA

  • Animal-derived protein sources
 
Like

- fish/seafood
- dairy (like milk/cheese/whey)
- poultry (like chicken/quails/turkeys)
- eggs
- lean meats (like boars/horses/hares/bison/deer/pork/beef/lambs)
 
  • Plant-derived protein sources
 
Like
 
- peas
- soy
- nuts
- seeds
- beans
- lentils
