Protein powder can be consumed moderately by the elderly. Eating protein powder by the elderly can delay aging, supplement the lack of protein in food, promote sleep, replenish calcium, prevent heart disease, and lower cholesterol. Protein powder is a powdered product composed of purified soybean protein, casein, whey protein, or a combination of these proteins. What are the benefits of eating protein powder? 1. Compensate for the lack of protein in food. Protein supplementation should primarily rely on food, and elderly people can choose to consume protein powder when food intake is insufficient! High-quality protein powder contains whey protein, soybean protein, and other high-quality proteins, which are scientifically combined with various amino acids and trace elements. 2. Delay aging. The protein decomposition ability of the elderly is relatively poor, and due to many factors, their intake of high-protein solid foods is limited. Therefore, they should consume protein powder moderately! Lack of protein in the elderly has a good effect on maintaining normal metabolic function, enhancing immune function, and delaying aging. However, the elderly should also pay attention to the following points when consuming protein powder: 1. Do not take it on an empty stomach. 2. Do not consume it with acidic beverages. 3. Do not overheat the protein powder.
