Health Front: Not Too Old to Improve Health

New research from the Netherlands reports that eating protein after exercising will help the body build more muscle, in both young and old alike. A study of two groups of men, half in their 20s and the other half in their 70s found that in both age groups, consuming a protein drink immediately after exercise led to a greater increase in muscle protein, compared to having the protein drink later on, during a period of rest. This is true if you are young or old.
