When aging steals hunger
Anorexia of aging affects about one-quarter of older adults, and women more often than men. The condition is marked by diminished appetite and can prompt a breakdown of muscle and bone mass that can lead to frailty, falls, delayed recovery from illness or surgery, and earlier death. Risk factors include changes in smell and taste, swallowing problems, slower digestion, medications that lead to dry mouth, dental problems, cognitive decline, and loneliness or social isolation. Treatments can include exercising, boosting protein intake, and medications.
Weighing protein powders
Men need adequate amounts of daily protein to help manage age-related muscle mass. While most of their protein should come from food to ensure they get the required nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals, adding protein powder to their diet can help meet their daily quota. Depending on the brand, a single scoop of powder can offer 15 to 30 grams of protein per serving and can be mixed with water or milk or added to a smoothie.
