Inflammaging & Muscle Loss After 50: Are You Getting Enough Protein?

After crossing 50 and moving into my 60s, I began noticing changes in my own strength. Activities that once felt easy—lifting bags, carrying luggage, opening jars—started requiring more effort. In this video, I explore the connection between aging, chronic low-grade inflammation—or inflammaging—and the gradual loss of muscle mass and strength. I also share practical vegetarian protein ideas and an Ayurvedic perspective on the Vata stage of life, digestion and healthy tissue formation. This is Part 1 of my Strength After 50 series. Part 2 will focus on strength training, Vyayama and yoga for strength, flexibility and balance.
