Scientific Review Finds Reduced Protein Intake May Benefit Metabolism and Ageing
A new scientific review analyzing over 350 studies suggests that consuming less protein may offer health benefits, particularly for sedentary adults. Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that reducing protein intake could improve metabolism, lower inflammation, slow biological ageing, and potentially extend lifespan. While protein is essential for muscle maintenance, the amount needed varies with physical activity levels. The findings highlight the importance of personalized dietary recommendations based on individual lifestyles.
