How to Combat Unhealthy Biological Aging

Eating the right proteins before age 60 may add years to your life and could give you a long healthy fulfilled life.

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. If you have been eating vegetable proteins most of your younger life before 60, after 60 is not the time to stop. We are a part of nature and must consume from nature verses all the unhealthy means.

Vegetables Proteins

Plant based proteins

As we get older the body does what it wants to do and not what it used to do. Just like our external body ages, the internal body ages also. We can see the external body but must feel the internal workings of the body. The body is designed to wear out over a period of time and it is each responsibility to replenish what the body lacks or demands. Listen, to your body, it will tell you what is needed or lacking. Older adults who cut back on the amount of vegetable protein in their diets may be more likely to experience age -related health problems than their peers who increased the amount of plant protein they eat.

While I am a proponent of studies, but I am well aware that they are biased for most cannot and will not cover every single individual and each particulars. So when I read studies, I keep an open mind that the study is just a barometer of what could happen to others that are similar.

Data from 1,951 people aged 60 and older was collected and each completed dietary surveys and questionnaires to detect four types of unhealthy aging: functional impairments; reduced vitality; mental health issues; and chronic medical problems or use of health services.

All participants got an average 12% of their calories from animal protein, including meat and dairy and about 6% from vegetable protein, including sources such as legumes, nuts, grains, root vegetables and green plants.

People who decreased vegetable protein intake by more than 2%, compared to those who increased their consumption of vegetable protein by more than 2% developed fewer deficits related with unhealthy aging.
