Protein for older females

A 75-year-old woman needs more protein than younger adults to prevent muscle loss, with a general recommendation of 1 to 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. For a woman who weighs, for example, 75 kg (about 11.8 stone), this would be 75-90 grams of protein daily. This amount helps support muscle function, the immune system, and healing.
Why Older Adults Need More Protein
Muscle Loss (Sarcopenia):
As people age, they naturally lose muscle mass. A higher protein intake helps to counteract this age-related muscle loss.
Efficiency:
Older adults' bodies may be less efficient at using and storing protein, requiring a higher intake to meet their needs.
Optimal Health:
This increased intake moves the body from just preventing illness (the minimum RDA) to a "thrive mode," supporting overall health and function.
How to Get Enough Protein
Aim for 20-25g per Meal: Distribute your protein intake across your meals and snacks.
Good Sources Include:
Protein-rich meals: A medium chicken breast, a small portion of fish, or a cup of cooked lentils can provide a good amount of protein, according to the British Heart Foundation.
Snacks: Plain yogurt, milk, a handful of nuts, or peanut butter on whole-grain toast are excellent protein-boosting snacks.
Important Considerations
Individual Needs:
This is a general guideline. An individual's specific needs can vary.
Kidney Health:
If you have chronic kidney disease, discuss your protein intake with a doctor, as requirements may differ.
Leucine:
Ensure your diet includes foods high in leucine, an amino acid vital for muscle building, such as milk and whey.
Consult a Professional:
For personalized advice, particularly if you have underlying health conditions or are concerned about your protein intake, it's best to consult a doctor or a geriatric nutrition specialist.

feeling out of sorts and more anxious than normal.
Here's why

Currently, the main planetary influence on mental well-being is the presence of multiple planets in retrograde, including Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. This period, often associated with increased introspection and contemplation, can also exacerbate anxiety and stress. Additionally, the ongoing influence of Chiron in Aries continues to highlight themes of identity, self-worth, and personal insecurities, potentially leading to heightened vulnerability and anxiety.

Meditate
Be in your safe place, lots of comfort and be nice to yourself.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Mercury Retrograde in Cancer:
Mercury's retrograde in Cancer, an emotional and watery sign, can amplify feelings of anxiety and doubt, especially concerning decisions and communication. It's a time to reassess emotional needs and communication patterns in relationships.

Saturn Retrograde in Pisces:
Saturn's retrograde in Pisces can bring about a period of confronting unresolved emotional patterns, potentially leading to feelings of insecurity and a need to establish clearer boundaries. This could manifest as a need to address past emotional wounds and redefine personal relationships.

General Impact:
The combination of these retrograde periods may lead to a heightened sense of vulnerability, requiring introspection and a focus on emotional healing and self-care. It's a time to be patient with oneself and others, acknowledging that clarity and solutions may take time to emerge.
Specific areas of focus:
Relationships, particularly close partnerships, might require re-evaluation and a focus on restoring balance. Individuals might also need to address past emotional patterns and redefine their boundaries.
Positive aspects:
While these retrogrades can be challenging, they also offer opportunities for growth and healing. The emphasis on self-reflection and emotional processing can lead to greater self-awareness and a stronger sense of personal well-being.
