Episode 258: Navigating Protein Nutrition: Aging, Sustainability, and Future Trends with Dr Paul Morgan
In this episode, we dive into the complex world of protein—its impact on aging, sustainability, and diet patterns. We break down the science behind protein's recommended daily allowance, explore the environmental footprint of different protein sources, and debate the merits of plant versus animal proteins for muscle health. We also discuss the 'muscle full effect' and the urgent need for research into whole foods. Furthermore, we explore sustainable practices in food production, championing the use of alternative proteins and reducing waste, and wrap up on the needs of the aging and addresses muscle health.
