Consuming a robust amount of high-quality protein can counterbalance the decrease in nutrient sensing efficiency in skeletal muscle that can occur with age.

“is eating red meat optimal for someone who is 68 years old to which I replied yes perhaps even more optimal perhaps even more important than for someone who is 30 years old”

“there is the potential for that nutrient the Capa the efficiency to go down the way in which you counterbalance that is by having a robust amount of high quality protein”

“the protein quality protein quality is not nearly as important when the systems dominant ated by hormones and so now what we know is as we get older we can buffer that loss of the hormones by higher quality protein mostly Lucine”

“not only do you get a decreased sensitivity of that pathway you actually get like less I think less protein uh less of the actual like intor and the Machinery associated with protein synthesis so you're their research basically showed you could restore a normal response of muscle protein synthesis but you have to consume proportionately more protein”
