Unfortunately, none of us are getting any younger, which means that as we age, taking care of our health becomes even more important.

However, you can always resort to a simple method that will help maintain the well-being of the body, and this is adjusting our diet.

Food has a significant impact on our health, mood and appearance. For this reason, experts recommend adhering to the principles of proper and balanced nutrition.

However, over time, it is necessary to adjust the diet.

For example, after a certain age, the need for protein, such as cottage cheese and eggs, increases significantly.

These products should definitely be present in the diet of people who have already celebrated their 35th birthday.

The fact is that by this age sarcopenia, that is, loss of muscle mass, begins to develop.

This is the reason why it is so important to pay attention to easily digestible proteins, which are found in eggs and cottage cheese.

According to some doctors, heat-treated cottage cheese, for example in the form of cheesecakes or casseroles, is more of a carbohydrate than a protein.

As for red meat, it is recommended to eat it for dinner and lunch no more than two or three times a week, and the rest of the time give preference to poultry or fish.

To better absorb protein from red meat and poultry, they should be prepared stuffed (for example, meatballs, meatballs or cutlets) and choose cooking methods such as steaming, baking in foil without forming a crust or boiling.
