474: Protein, menopause and healthy ageing

As we age, our bodies undergo significant transformations, underscoring the increasing importance of maintaining our health. Protein, often referred to as the cornerstone of life, plays a pivotal role in this transformative journey.  Its contributions extend far and wide, from bolstering muscle strength and fortifying bone density, to assisting in the intricate dance of hormone regulation. For women, the journey of aging presents a unique array of challenges. The onset of menopause ushers in a host of changes that touch every facet of life.  In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, made in partnership with Volac, we explore the vital role protein plays in bolstering the wellbeing of women as they navigate this time in their life.  How can protein support the wellbeing of women as they age? Can it help with the symptoms of menopause? And how might it contribute to maintaining an active lifestyle during what can often be a stressful phase of life?
