Episode Details

Protein is something we hear a lot about, but what actually is protein, why do we need it, and why does it become even more important as we get older?

In this episode, we chat about what protein is and why it is one of the essential building blocks our bodies need.

We look at the reasons why protein is important for muscle, strength, recovery, repair and maintaining our bodies as we age.

We also talk about why getting enough protein becomes particularly important as we get older, when we naturally start to lose muscle mass and maintaining strength becomes increasingly important.

We discuss how much protein we should generally be aiming for each day, different sources of protein including both animal and plant-based options, and simple ways to include more protein in your everyday meals.

Most importantly, we encourage you to take a look at your own diet and ask yourself — are you getting enough protein?
