Approximately 52.4 million Americans are age 65 and older, with projections to reach 80.8 million by 2040.1 With the population growing and people living longer, it’s never been more important to prioritize making the most of those extra years.
Physical activity, managing risk factors for disease, and a nutrient-rich diet are fundamental for maintaining health and independence. Yet physiological changes can lead to specific nutritional considerations as we age.
Did you know that healthy older people need up to 50% more protein to maintain an active lifestyle, and even more protein with acute or chronic disease?2,3 Yet 45% of Americans over 60 are not meeting minimum protein requirements.4 Addressing nutritional gaps and identifying evidence-based solutions can help provide the foundation to fuel healthy aging.
