Do you know that our bodies are composed of various proteins?
More than twenty amino acids present in proteins are essential in keeping the body strong and healthy. Without them, bones will become brittle; muscles will become weak, and definitely, the body loses defenses from many types of diseases.
People under Personal Care Assistance must maintain a healthy and balanced diet as they get older. Seniors need proteins to gain back the muscles they lose because of aging. This macronutrient will also help maintain strong bones and lower the risk of conditions such as
- Heart diseases
- Cancer
- Diabetes
- Weight Issues
We can get amino acids from healthy sources such as lean meat, poultry, eggs, fish, and dairy products. Plant-based proteins like tofu, soybeans, lentils, quinoa, among others, are great alternatives for a meat-free diet. There may be products that promise to supply your daily needs of protein, but providers of Senior Care in Indiana must be cautious and may choose to go all-natural instead.
