Adequate protein intake important for older women

And the crappy research just keeps on coming.
"It's known that age-related muscle loss can contribute to frailty, disability and disease, with women being at greater risk of problems because they have less muscle to begin with...

What's more, the findings suggest that older women, in particular, should be sure to eat adequate protein, from foods like eggs, fish and lean meat, according to the researchers...

Therefore, Mittendorfer said, 'we recommend that women get plenty of protein in their diets.'"

Muscle increase by eating protein does not happen. If that were the case, fools on the Atkins' and South Beach Diets would be winning beefcake contests left and right.

Just like the recent HGH article, one will not improve their frailty or disability from muscle loss by eating more protein.

They will have to train, just like the rest of us, to improve.

Mittendorfer should try eating more protein to strengthen the muscles that shut her mouth.

Of course, "adequate" anything is arguably the right amount. The problems are the suggestions made by these research fools.
