(UPI) U.S. researchers say seniors can prevent fractures by including more protein in their diets…
"Study participants who consumed higher amounts of protein in their diet were significantly less likely to suffer a hip fracture," senior study author Marian Hannan said in a statement…
Hannan suggests older women daily consume at least 46 grams of protein and older men at least 56 grams, or 2 ounces, of protein from both animal sources such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy products and plants such as legumes, grains, nuts, seeds and vegetables. The study did not examine the type of protein consumed.
To reduce the risk of falls, Hannan recommends other regular exercising to build muscle and help balance.
