Geriatric Strength Nutrition
Problem
Age-related loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) and strength, leading to falls and stiffness.
Solution
Optimize protein absorption, support joint cushioning, and ensure bone density nutrients.
Full Content
Maintaining mobility in golden years requires preventing muscle wasting. Dr. Shilpa Thakur at Nutrition Colours has designed a specialized senior strength protocol that focuses on highly absorbable proteins, joint-lubricating healthy fats, and targeted minerals like calcium and vitamin D to maintain bone and muscle integrity.
Natural Approach
- Absorbable plant protein
- Joint lubrication fats
- Calcium & Vitamin D
- Gentle mobility exercises
FAQs
Is muscle loss inevitable with age?
No. Sarcopenia can be prevented and managed with adequate, clean protein intake and light resistance training, even in your 70s.
Why do seniors struggle to absorb protein?
Stomach acid naturally declines with age, reducing digestion efficiency. Dr. Shilpa recommends easily digestible plant proteins and natural enzyme supports.
How do I prevent joint stiffness?
Hydration combined with anti-inflammatory spices like ginger and turmeric acts as a natural lubricant for synovial joints.
Can nutrition prevent falls?
Yes, by stabilizing muscle strength and improving cognitive focus/balance through proper neuro-nutrition, fall risk drops significantly.
