As we age, we lose the capacity to preserve muscle mass. Over the average adult lifespan each of us will lose 7 Kg of muscle and pack on 15 Kg of body fat. These changes in body composition have disastrous repercussions, they set the stage for type-2 diabetes and heart disease.
Research shows us that ageing also appears to diminish the anabolic (muscle-building) response to exercise. Conversely, when older adults consume a high protein diet, including supplements, they are able to restore this anabolic response similar to that seen in young adults. Clearly, the older you get, the more important protein intake becomes.
