Health & Wellness Every Wednesday we share a tip for living well. Getting Enough Protein Helps Keep Muscles StrongMany Australians over 50 don't get quite enough protein to maintain muscle mass, which naturally declines with age. Aim for protein-rich foods at each meal—think Greek yoghurt at breakfast, nuts as a snack, or fish for dinner. Spreading protein throughout the day, rather than loading up at dinner, helps your body use it more effectively.
