Creator description · original textText language: English
Is high protein intake good for longevity is an important question in healthy aging research, because protein plays a key role in muscle maintenance, metabolism, immune function, and long-term health. This video explores what longevity science suggests about protein intake, healthspan, and aging well.

Protein is essential for preserving muscle mass, strength, and physical function as we age, but the relationship between protein intake and longevity may depend on age, activity level, overall diet quality, and metabolic health. Research on aging, inflammation, biomarkers, and metabolism suggests that protein needs may change across the lifespan. While very high protein diets are not automatically better, adequate protein combined with resistance training may support healthy aging and help protect against age-related muscle loss.
