Plant-Based Proteins: Tofu, Soy & Aging Muscle Health

Protein is essential for maintaining muscle mass and strength, both of which naturally decline with age. Plant-based proteins such as tofu, soy, beans, lentils, and quinoa are excellent alternatives to meat and dairy. They provide the amino acids necessary for repairing tissue while also offering fibre, vitamins, and minerals absent from animal protein sources. For ageing adults, incorporating plant proteins can support muscle health, reduce inflammation, and lower the risk of chronic disease.
