Increasing Protein Intake After Age 65

[@MinimalistBosnian]

Bless you Dr.Greger. You are the reason why my father no longer has high cholesterol. He hasn't given up chicken, but, he has given up eggs and dairy and has lost a fair amount of weight, lowered his risk of colon cancer, and does eat more plant based. You are my hero. Thank you for sharing your studies.

[@HolisticHealthatHome]

That is awesome!! Good for your father for taking the necessary steps to take control of his health. What a great example of how a plant-based diet benefits the body. :)

[@MinimalistBosnian]

Nerds and Nutrition Plant based is the way to go! I've been Plant based-VEGAN for nearly 6 months now, and I've never felt better in my whole entire life. The mental clarity, energy and digestion is amazing! I'm so proud of him too :) Never thought he'd look into being more plant based, as he did grow up in Bosnia, a heavy red-meat / fried food eating country

[@HolisticHealthatHome]

Very interesting. That is quite the change for him then, even better for him! I've been vegan for a little over 3 months now, and I totally agree with you--my body and mind feel amazing! Keep spreading plant power!

[@MinimalistBosnian]

Nerds and Nutrition So happy for you :) And I grew up living the same lifestyle and ended up being obese, malnutritioned, stressed out and had higher cholesterol than both of my parents combined. He's just blessed with a really fast metabolism, but it is a really good change for him, since there are alternatives to everything :)

[@HolisticHealthatHome]

So many alternatives. And I'm happy for you guys! :) Trust me, I know about high cholesterol. A couple years my total cholesterol was over 260. I'm about to get it checked again soon to see how it's changed. Fingers crossed!

[@janetdecardenas3469]

dude i'm not ashamed to admit i have a total man crush on you. I'm so grateful to you and your team for putting together an awesome channel and website that i can't get enough of. Much love dude..... I'm currently learning to phase out animal products from my diet, and perfecting an intermittent fasting regime. I'm loving it..... I'm confused and I'd love your audience or someone to help me understand something..... I've heard of numerous studies that in obese men, split into 3 groups, where the first group was asked to reduce their calories by 20%, the second group was to reduce calories by 20% AND add resistance training AND supplement with a whey protein shake within X mins .of training. A third group repeated the second group protocol but instead of whey they swapped out for the slower digesting Casein protein..... The alleged results were minimal weight loss and no muscle gain in group one.... Good weight loss and increased lean muscle mass in group two, whey protein.... Good weight loss and even MORE increased muscle mass in group three, casein protein.... what am I missing here?.... should we have had a fourth group with decreased calories, resistance training, and no supplement?....Why aren't older people benefiting from resistance training and protein supplements like the younger crowd?...is that where the systemic acidic nature of an elder persons system is blocking protein production? Does a younger body have better way of dealing with the acid...hence maybe the animal whey and casein protein is being utilised more effectively?

[@tairoberts3756]

Sam tron, I would bet that study was paid for by the supplement industry. I switched from being a powerlifting animal-product eating meat head, to a plant based eating calisthenics athlete. I also intermittent fast, and I've noticed the less I used protein powder, the better my muscle mass, strength and endurance. The only supplement I take is creatine HCL. Search for Barbell Brigade's video on supplements on KZbin. Best wishes!

[@stringbender57]

Love Dr. Greger's videos. The constant proof and enforcement of the benefits of a plant based, starch based diet makes me smile from ear to ear. This diet has changed my life. I have floored my Doctor by dropping 32 pounds, lowering my cholesterol from 235 to 173, reducing my ha1c by 2 complete points and lowering my blood pressure to normal ranges in just 60 DAYS! I have the blood work papers to prove it. Dr. McDougall and Dr. Greger are to thank!

[@allanpennington]

I was invalided out of the army after 16 years service. I am now nearly 63 and am considering a WFPB diet however am concerned about protein intake and muscle waste. I was 134kg and 48% body fat three years ago now down to 108kg and 35% body fat. I have been as low as 102kg and 30% BF, but have gone up and down twice in that timeframe to around 116kg. At my fittest in the army at age 34 I was 95kg and less than 15% BF. I have lost weight with a combination of walking, reducing calorie intake and increasing plant based foods whilst still eating meat, dairy and eggs. I am really confused by the conflicting information available and whether as a senior I would get adequate protein from a plant based diet and what “adequate" really is. For example this study questions the ability of a vegan diet to provide sufficient protein for the elderly. Perspective: Vegan Diets for Older Adults? A Perspective On the Potential Impact On Muscle Mass and Strength. Jacintha Domić, corresponding author Pol Grootswagers, Luc J C van Loon, and Lisette C P G M de Groot This study proposes that a vegan diet increases the risk of an inadequate protein intake at an older age and that current strategies to improve the anabolic properties of plant-based foods are not feasible for many older adults. The authors state "this is the first article that provides an evidence-based perspective regarding the potential impact of a vegan diet on muscle mass and strength in older adults. The current perspective is highly relevant considering the envisaged shifts towards sustainable dietary guidelines." Study published on ScienceDirect by Oxford University Press on behalf of the American Society for Nutrition Any advice for me or comment on this study would be welcome.

[@garland978]

Great confirmation for eating less animal protein. I have cut my animal protein by more than 50% in favor of beans, peas, and lentils. I use small amounts of meat to flavor my veggie protein foods. The Mediterranean in a nutshell. Thank your Dr. Greger.

[@cutabove9046]

The conclusion section of the study you cite showing the same requirement for older as younger people clearly notes that .8 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight will meet the "minimum" requirements of most people. Newer studies have shown that 1.0 to 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight in senior women (Adventist 2 study) show fewer hip fractures and greater survival after hip fractures. Bone health for those eating under that number shows a deterioration for every ten below that figure. And let's not forget that 100 year old Okinawan women get 1.1 gram of protein for every kilogram of healthy body weight.

[@bonniemullen9820]

Thank you Dr. Gregers thank you for caring about people of all ages, that is a sign of a great healer. The older generation is why the younger generation is here a lot of us are very young at heart and have a lot to share.

[@michaelmascia313]

Dr. Michael, As usual, you hit it hard and long with the facts. One bit of common confusion that you can clarify is the use of the word protein vs the use of the words animal protein. In other words, as you allude to toward the end of the bit, it is important to clarify the difference between animal protein and plant protein when designing studies and designing diets. Bottom line? Seems to me that the Modified Mediterranean diet (what I call The Peasant Diet) that uses animal protein for flavor and plant protein for medicinal and nutrient benefit fits the bill for achievable diet that’s best for our health. But ... can we prove it? Has sufficient research been done to prove this? And, what is the optimal diet & protein requirement for healthy vs sick folks. We deal with this issue in the ICU on a regular basis but, I’m not satisfied with our ability to individualize and optimize nutrition on account of our lack of definitive markers for malnutrition and suboptimal nutrition. But ... we carry on ... best we can with what we know to be true. Seeking transparency and truth about optimal health and nutrition? Grandmothers and others who have come before us had simple rules: Fresh Fruits and Vegetables, Fresh Air, Sunshine, Exercise & Plenty of Sleep But, for individuals, with ailments, individualized plans are needed. That’s where the grandmothers’ knowledge and skill set stops. But, since you like stories of grandmothers ... my two Italian grandmothers ... their diets and health and lives and deaths tell a great story, as do the stories of my parents lives, life style, diets and deaths. But that long story is for another forum. The short story is this: One was fat and one was skinny. Skinny Grandma (I called her Granola Granny) ate more of a plant based diet ... but not exclusively. Fat Grandma (famous for saying “Have you ever seen a sausage with wrinkles?” in response to my baby brother’s question, “Grandma, why don’t you have any wrinkles?”) ate the usual Italian immigrant diet. Both of these ladies died from the same thing at around the same age. In there 80s, the both developed atrial fibrillation and they each suffered a hemispheric stroke as a result of embolic complications of atrial fibrillation ... before the days of anticoagulation for prevention of clot and emboli. Fast forward to today ... are we able to recommend (with evidence) non pharmacologic and diet based preventions for atrial fibrillation and embolic complications? In other words, do we have evidence based preventive and therapeutic strategies for specific ailments like atrial fibrillation and the embolic complications that generally follow? When I see patients in the ICU who are suffering from all sorts of ailments, especially cardiovascular disease related events like Acute Coronary Syndromes, ischemic events and related events ... I tell them about the options for diet and exercise. The short and sweet message? “Don’t eat anything that has a mother & don’t eat anything that come from a mother. Walk at least 30 minutes daily ... working up to 4 miles daily.” But, I believe we need to put the message into a short check list and a short video that can be used repeatedly for the long haul and for the family and for the friends of the patient and the family ... to help spread the word and the action. Do you have such a thing? We look forward to continuing our mutually beneficial cooperative action, with and for all the folks we serve. Keep up the good work.

[@evelynbaron2004]

This was super interesting; studies that Valter Longo and his associates did in blue zones were cause for concern because of the frailty factor, which led to more breakage of bones etc. in individuals beginning age 65 to 70. Slightly increasing protein from legumes and whole grains however did seem to make a measurable difference with no deleterious effects. These people were not athletes but moved constantly through the day. I'd LOVE to watch a conversation between you two guys; would be awesome (i'm 64 and suddenly writing like a valley girl which in itself may be cause for concern …...

[@andrewnorris5415]

Strength training especially targets muscles and bones. Normal walks will help in other ways but need strength training to stop muscle wasting as get older. Greger showed that if people did strength training their muscles stayed strong without the need for extra protein. Elastic bands are a cheap and effective way. I would start with low resistance and make sure warm up! Stop right away and rest if any sign of hurt.

[@andrewnorris5415]

Also natto and Vit D tabs (2000IU daily) seem good for bones and more besides!

[@peterfaber9316]

I couldn't agree more. Vegetables are important. In fact they should always fill most of your plate. It doesn't matter what kind of diet you eat, vegan, sad, keto, meditaranean, paleo, etc. Vegetables are key and should always be your main food source,... in volume. Not carbs like potatoes or rice, not meat, not fat, but vegetables,.. in volume. In calories they're never the main food source.

This is KZbin, you won't get any answers directly from Dr. Gregers staff. You need to be asking over on his website, you will get responses there. My insights to you: Research alkalizing foods, reduce acidosis, research lymphatic system (very important). And most importantly... Research Walter Kempner and his patient's successes. It will give you a good idea of what is clinically possible. Protein is your #1 enemy! All the best to you.

[@HiFruityU]

You can do it, with a highly alkaline diet - fruits, berries, melons and herbs to get the kidneys filtering again. The adrenals are tired and the lymph is congested with acidic waste and is not filtering out. Clean the gut, that's where all disease begins. The body wants to, and knows how to heal. KZbin channel - robertmorsend - has hundreds of videos on exactly this! My Dr. and mentor of whom I am daily grateful, thankful to be alive. Be patient and loving to you. Set your intention and know. You Can.

Concretely, for seniors of 65 and older, more proteins means more legumes, whole grains, nuts and seeds. See the chapter on Vegan Nutrition for Seniors on "Becoming vegan" by Brenda Davis.

[@garrethbyrne374]

10% of 3200 calories from protein would be 80g mate

[@PrecisionPulseCapital]

Garreth Byrne Im sorry I suppose I was just doing 3200 * .08 = 256 grams. How do you get the 80 grams ?

[@garrethbyrne374]

No problem, there's 4 calories per g of protein so 3200÷4=800 (100%cals from protein) 10% of 800 =80g

[@joshuamartin3935]

Yeah, you have to account for the fact that each gram of protein is 4 calories. 80 grams of protein is 320 calories.

And what about the study that says that you should decrease your consumption of food about 30% , to extend life 20%

[@darialover87]

he's actually covered that in a previous video. The reason is often because when people decrease their food, they're decreasing their bad food choices. You can eat as much as you want as long as it's whole plant foods.

[@BlueSkies360]

We can eat but would that increase our lifespan, that is the question. Calorie restriction is one of the pathways to longevity. Whole plant foods have calories too

[@knightingaelx6831]

+Blue Skies of your going to do fasts you mine as well just eat whole plant foods such as fruit, vegetables, and stuff cuz they are low calories and fat so at least your getting nutrients and stuff.

[@greensandbeansgaming1358]

From what the vegan raw foodist Brian Clement was saying is that fruit is acidic because it is picked unripe for shelf life and does not have the ability to ripen after picked. The only fruit that does is the banana. But he said to stay away from fruit all together because of the sugar. So I wonder if the fruitarians are burning up there muscle from the acidic fruit, unless they are picking it ripe.

[@eliakimjosephsophia4542]

As we know there is a much bigger story to muscles and their health.

[@cutabove9046]

I'm not sure if the doctor is being disingenuous or simply lacks an understanding of protein requirements of the body? The reality is that whole food plant based diet might get adequate TOTAL protein that seems to be the equivalent of what an omnivore gets, but it isn't. As a vegan you total protein on an application like the Cron-o-meter might show you getting sixty grams, but that isn't the same as what an omnivore gets. Looks at the individual essential amino acid profile of the vegan's sixty grams. You'll find that various critical aminos like Lysine are sitting at say 55%, and Leucine might be even less while total protein continues to look adequate. In order for the body to make use of the ingested protein the percentage of each essential amino has to be at 100%. Whatever fraction isn't at the 100% level will be used as energy instead of a building block of muscles and organs. Therefore, if total protein is 60 grams which you target as adequate, but the Lysine value shows up as 55%, multiple 60 grams time .55 and you'll discover effective usable protein by the body is actually 33 grams. This is below the RDA for a 160 pound male. On the other hand an Omnivore eating 60 grams of protein from animal sources will show ALL essential aminos at or well above 100% and therefore his body can use every gram of that protein for maintenance. Remember that RDA is based on a PER (quality) of protein of one, not simply on total protein that is short essential aminos.

[@LordSantiagor]

Could it be that those who have other risk factors like genetics, smoking, etc, don't survive to ages >65 as often if on a high protein diet? Selection bias? Results on nutrition are very difficult to interpret, unfortunately.

[@darialover87]

Isn't testosterone the hormone that actually ages men and is the cause for women usually outliving them? My husband is always talking against testosterone supplementation for this reason.

[@knightingaelx6831]

+Atomic Skies it is a factor yes. It would help you maintain muscle mass and bone density but it might also age you. I'm not really educated in that particular subject though so I could be wrong. is just based off what I've heard a lot. Vegan men are less susceptible to the aging and cons of testosterone though. They have higher testosterone level but less side effects. I don't remember the reasons why though.

[@jefflebowski918]

are those percentages of weight or calories??

[@jefflebowski918]

[@orangemoonglows2692]

this is almost my diet. except i'm about 5% on animal products. i generally reserve my dairy intake to a few cupcakes or croissants a year and a bit of seafood. i probably also eat more grains. i think it's an optimal way to eat and reflects more how people ate many years ago when animal products weren't so widely available and affordable.

[@justgivemethetruth]

Actually he showed quite a few studies and then discounted them because they were from the Meat and Dairy assn. To me these videos are informative, but I do question this dogmatic believe that all animal products are toxic all the time. Since the data does not really show that ... at least yet, it is a wishful extrapolation and kind of a religious faith kind of thing. If clear and honest about it, I don't care about that, but the attacks from vegans on people who question or disagree are upsetting and I wish they would stop.

It is enormously difficult to get an adequate amount of protein just on the plant-based diet.

This information is ancient and way out of date. 1.5g/kg of body weight is more the norm, certainly for me, as I am 67 Most of my fat and protein intake comes from meat and fish. I eat LCHF.

Well Dr. G. you, if it was you with the microphone. You sound you sound like you're either plastered or trying desperately to have a crap. What did you have to eat last night? Do you really talk like that? Are you a vegan? You seem to be missing a lot of vitamin B12 or something. Anyway it was interesting listening to you, as a meat and fish eater I think I'll stick to my diet.
