Last month I was invited by a wellness officer at one of the independant living community villages in Perth to deliver a nutrition workshop aimed at Seniors. We talked about saying strong, keeping on our feet and active and a diet to support healthy ageing. They were engaged and had very interesting questions. You are never to old to learn and change habits!

Why women should follow higher protein diets after 40

Studies show that a protein intake of 1.2 to 2.0 grams per kilogram of body weight is critical for women 40 and over in order to maintain hormone balance, weight management, bone and muscle support and most importantly, helping to prevent cognitive decline (women make up 2/3 of Alzheimer’s cases and estrogen decline is a HUGE factor).

This would mean that a 150 pound woman (which is approximately 68 kg) over 40 should be eating 82-136 grams of protein per day.

As women age, they experience accelerated muscle loss, a condition called sarcopenia. A higher protein intake, especially when combined with resistance training, can counteract this by supporting and increasing muscle protein synthesis.

The drop is estrogen during perimenopause and menopause greatly increases the risk of osteoporosis. Protein is CRUCIAL for bone health and can even help maintain muscle bone density especially when combined with nutrients like calcium and vitamin D.

Protein’s building blocks, amino acids, are necessary for producing hormones and neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. Eating sufficient protein regulates hormones and neurotransmitters which helps prevent mood swings, anxiety, depression and drastic weight gains.

Protein also helps stabilize blood sugar levels, which can minimize energy crashes and reduce cravings for sugar. This is especially important for menopausal women, who have an increased risk of insulin resistance, which is the leading cause of Type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, PCOS, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and more.

High protein intake also helps prevent cognitive decline in menopausal women by providing the aforementioned amino acids for neurotransmitter production which support mood and brain function!

As a parent to a child in lower primary and one in upper primary, I appreciate and respect the role of teachers. In upper primary its a very hands off approach to their lunch boxes. In lower primary teachers direct children to eat their substantial food first and " treat " food last. I see the logic in this as they have such a small amount of time to eat then play ( sadly 😥) and its in the teachers and child's interest to have a full belly when they go back to class. But it doesn't help with creating a healthy relationship with food and viewing all food as morally neutral. Kids may end up sneaking their treat foods so that they get time to eat it. Food is food and parents choose what goes in the lunch box , children should be able to decide the order they eat their food in, mirroring the Ellen Satter Division of Responsibility. It they want to eat their substantial food at recess this should be a non issue. Follow Dr Kyla- Paediatric Dietitian for more information in this space.

Has anyone had to leave a note like this in their child's lunchbox ?

When Dietitians go out to dinner we are all about enjoying the experience and having delicious food 😋 that's what our team did this week. Angela, Caitlyn , Amanda and Dr Analise shared delicious food and conversation and there wasn't a single "diet" food in sight. Everything was tasty and food was varied but balanced with most of the food groups covered! What's your favourite cuisine to eat out at ?
