Eggs Positively Contribute to Healthy Aging
Among older adults, nutrient requirements are usually increased due to reduced appetite, decreased mineral absorption, and a loss of muscle mass. However, health restrictions often arise around this period in one's life, and it's difficult to find nutritional foods that are easy to consume.
Some suggest that a reduction in the amount of proteins in the diet of older adults may contribute to saropenia, a loss of muscle and strength that comes with age. Certain foods high in protein, such as red meat, can often become difficult to chew, swallow, and digest, so eggs can be a great alternative. They're quick and simple to prepare, and also cheap and accessible.
It's important to mantain a healthy diet at this age as the risk of heart disease can be kept at bay. It's also more likey that longevity and a better quality of life will be achieved!
