PROTEIN FOR AGEING

Our protein requirements increase dramatically in midlife. Protein is an essential macronutrient in our diet. It provides us with energy and is used to repair and make muscle, bones, soft tissues and hormones and enzymes. Mostly we associate animal foods (dairy, meat and eggs) as being rich in protein. Plant foods such as bread, grains and legumes provide valuable sources of protein, too. But what really happens to our requirements as we get older? mindfood.com/protein-needs WHAT IS HAYTOX? Constant sneezing, itchy eyes, a runny nose, scratchy throat and severe congestion headaches are a few of the frustrating symptoms that those who experience hay fever can suffer from. While antihistamine medication is the usual route for relief, a new treatment being offered is promising to give longer relief by using botulinum toxin as a nasal treatment. But is it too good to be true? mindfood.com/hay-fever-fix
