Dietary Protein - How Much Is Optimal For Longevity?
in my last two articles, I've
in first descus how a recent study revealed the risk of a shorter lifespan from
consuming too much protein, and specifically the anabolic and
bodybuilder friendly amino acid L-Leucine. In the second article,
I went on to cover that given this risk, what is the minimum protein
level we can take in to optimize our muscle mass and fitness goals? For
the next article in my series on protein, I'd now like to discuss my
findings on the optimal protein intake for longevity - how much protein
should we eat to live as long and healthy a life as possible?
As I've mentioned before, the daily recommendations for protein intake vary incredibly widely across the board, with some organizations and diet groups advocating extremely low levels of protein intake, and many experts and coaches in the health and fitness industry recommending very high intakes. All these conflicting guidelines can be very confusing, but given that our goal is to find what will result in the longest lifespan, and the evidence that too much protein can shorten lifespan, a low recommendation is what we should be expecting to find.
