The many needs of protein
When we hear about protein, we often assume it’s only about how it keeps our muscles strong. Protein does so much more. It helps maintain a healthy immune system, keeps bones strong and ensures blood and skin cells are being continuously replaced. Older adults may need to increase their protein intake since our amount of muscle tissue decreases as we age.
Protein is also very important for individuals:
- Pre- and post-childbirth for better maternal and fetal health
- Before, during and after cancer treatment
- After having a surgery or illness like flu or pneumonia
- Living with HIV
- Post-workout
