1. Eat more protein

“Women over 50 need to eat enough protein because of the menopause ‘double whammy’ – we lose muscle mass due to the body’s declining ability tosynthesise protein, and the oestrogen drop,” advises Registered Dietitian Zoe Cottrell, co-founder of Provtyl 50+. She says muscle mass is crucial for our metabolism, and extra protein can help fight middle-age spread by keeping you fuller longer. Research shows older adults need around 1.2-1.5g of protein a day per kilogram of body weight. If you battle to eat enough, try a protein supplement like Provtyl 50+, simply mix into food or drinks, from £16.96. (Check out the protein calculator at Provtyl.com).
