Yours truly is in Britain, visiting our Air Force son, and you are probably wondering where’s my wife, the mighty Q?
Quantz is still in South America, checking off countries on her bucket list. These pictures are from Iguazu, some of the largest waterfalls in the world.
When I was there in 1983, the catwalks you see below were completely washed away. Q’s pictures remind me how impressive the water is.
The Amazon is such a fascinating place, filled with animals like the coatimundi, racoon-like creatures that will eat almost anything.
Which brings us to the topic of today, protein.
A study in the Journal of Nutrition, Health & Aging, indicates that older adults in the US aren’t getting enough protein.
Analyzing data from over 11,000 adults aged 51 and above, they found that nearly half of the older participants didn’t consume adequate protein regularly.
Not getting enough protein isn’t just about muscles; it could signal that someone’s diet and overall health might need a boost. As we get older, our muscles start to shrink, which can make us weaker and more prone to falling.
Individuals over 50 “whose protein intake was lower than the recommended level had a poorer diet overall, as well as ‘significantly more functional limitations.’ These people consumed fewer healthful foods such as greens and beans, dairy, seafood, and plant protein foods.”
”Despite the protein craze in America, the data shows there’s still a big gap in adults’ protein intake.”
Great sources of protein include rice, beans, lentils, soy, and quinoa, as well as eggs, dairy, or meat. This was Quantz’s dinner in La Paz, Bolivia, the highest capital in the world. She never figured out what the food on the left of the plate actually was.
So just to make sure I practiced what I preached, yours truly had a ribeye and “chips” in the Mildenhall Market. I feel stronger already.
Most important, keep squeezing the juice out of life and look for ways to help others!
