The POWER of Protein... • Increases Satiety • Promotes Muscle Growth • Aids in Weight Management • Fuels Activity, Strength & Metabolism • Role in preventing chronic disease 1Wolfe R. The underappreciated role of muscle in health and disease. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 2006. 84:475-482.
Protein’s Role in Optimal Health • Provide energy • Help metabolize other nutrients • Deliver oxygen to muscle tissues • Boost Immunity • Brain Power • Enhance weight loss via satiety • Greater blood glucose control • Positive lipid profiles • Maintain lean muscle mass Layman, D. role protein in wt management. J Clin Nutr. 2006.
Dietary Protein & Sarcopenia • Skeletal muscle mass declines 0.5 – 1.0% per year starting around 40years of age • Protein intake and efficiency decreases with age • Less anabolic sensitivity to amino acids and insulin • Lower hormone production • Many studies demonstrate increase in muscle protein synthesis (without breakdown) after protein ingestion • Associated with 3-4 fold increase of risk of disability Am J Clin Nutr 2008;87(suppl):1562S-6S
