- 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 increase the amount of plant protein they eat, a Spanish study suggests.
"There is growing evidence supporting a beneficial effect of higher intakes of total protein on muscle mass and strength, physical functioning, hip fracture and frailty," said Esther Lopez-Garcia, senior author of the study and a researcher at Universidad Autonoma de Madrid."If you eat more plant-based sources of proteins, you are also getting a lot of micronutrients and healthy fats, and fiber that help improve your health," Lopez-Garcia said by email.
The study wasn't designed to prove whether or how eating more plant proteins may stall unhealthy aging. It also wasn't able to determine which types of vegetable proteins might be best from an aging perspective.
