Muscle building after 60: This Vegetable Protein is Better Than Eggs! | Senior Health After the age of 60, when building muscle, plant protein (pea/soybean protein isolate, bean + grain combination) is superior to some animal proteins. It is easy to digest, low in fat and protects the cardiovascular system. It can also reduce the burden on those with mild renal insufficiency. A reasonable combination can supplement essential amino acids. The daily protein intake is recommended to be 1.0-1.4g/kg, divided into three meals (20-30g per meal), and combined with 2-3 resistance training sessions per week (such as sitting press and resistance band exercises). Food options include soy milk, tofu, chickpeas, etc. After training, you can drink a plant protein shake. When choosing protein powder, pay attention to the protein content (especially leucine), simple ingredients, and brand testing. To clarify the misconception that plant protein is "incomplete", it is necessary to combine it with an overall health assessment. People with kidney disease, those taking medication or allergies should consult a doctor before adjusting their diet. They should gradually adjust and track their body's reactions. Social interaction can be combined to help them persist. #seniorhealth #seniorhealthtips #seniorwellness #over60health #healthyaging #protein #nutritiontips #health #healthyfood #healthyagingtips #musclebuilding ☛ Disclaimer: The content provided on Senior Health Tips Today is intended for educational and informational purposes only.
