Paper

Abstract

Age-related muscle loss can be decreased with increased protein intake. Recent evidence suggests that increasing animal-based protein such as lean beef can be the most effective for age-related muscle repair and growth. Culinary medicine (CM) is a science-based field to teach people the art of food and cooking with the science of medicine to improve health.
