Diet as well as exercise can have a major impact on your energy, mood, and fitness. Many older adults don't get sufficient high- quality protein in their diets, despite evidence suggesting they need more than younger people to maintain energy levels and lean muscle mass, promote recovery from illness and injury, and support overall health. Older adults without kidney disease ot disbetes should aim for about 0.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight.

  • Vary your source of protein instead of relying on just red meat, including more fish,poultry, beans, and eggs

  • Reduce the amount of processed carbohydrates you consume- pastries, cakes, pizza, cookies and chips- and replace them with high quality protein.

  • Snack on nuts seeds intead of chips, replace a baked dessert with greek yogurt, swap out slices of pizza for a grilled chicken breast and side of beans.
