Why Protein Matters More Than You Might Think
When you hear the word protein, you might immediately think of protein shakes, gym-goers and building muscle. But protein plays a much bigger role in our bodies than that, and getting enough is important at every stage of life.
Protein is one of the building blocks our bodies use to grow and repair tissues. It helps maintain muscles and bones, supports our immune system and is involved in producing hormones and enzymes that keep our bodies functioning.
Why is protein important as we get older?
As we age, we naturally begin to lose muscle mass and strength. Staying active, particularly with resistance and strength-based exercise, can help slow this process, and getting enough protein gives the body the nutrients it needs to maintain and repair muscle.
This doesn't mean you need to start drinking protein shakes!
Plenty of everyday foods are naturally rich in protein.
Where can we get it?
Protein can come from both animal and plant-based foods, including:
• Eggs
• Chicken, beef and other meats
• Fish and seafood
• Milk, yoghurt and cheese
• Beans, lentils and chickpeas
• Tofu and tempeh
• Nuts and seeds
Including a source of protein across your meals throughout the day can be an easy way to make sure you're regularly giving your body what it needs.
