Protein powder for 80 year old woman
My mother is 80 years old and has severe osteoarthritis and muscle loss. The doctors have advised on a protein powder for her muscle recovery to aid her walking. Please advise on any good light protein powder that would not cause any digestion issues.

Hi, you could use Resource High protein or High- pro. Also If she can take threptin buiscuits in between meals about 1-2 will help. Have a well balanced diet. Eat 6-8 meals a day. Have carbohydrate and protein rich food combinations like Banana or Mango milkshake, Mix nuts and dryfruit chikkis, Soya or paneer veg rolls etc. Include high biological value proteins which are very well absorbed like- Milk,curd,Paneer, Meat,Fish,Eggs etc. Include essential fats like Almonds,walnuts,flaxseeds etc. Eat on waking up and do have a bed time meal like milk and light snack. Do not fast or overeat as this will not help.
