[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-sun] Why do people in their 50s and 60s avoid protein intake?


According to Media Real Research Korea, a research specialist company, on the 26th, the research application 'Real Research' conducted a survey on 1,000 South Koreans aged 50 to 60 (500 men and 500 women each) about the reasons for not consuming protein. As a result, 32.9% answered "because cooking is bothersome." This was followed by concerns about weight gain (28.4%), not feeling the necessity of protein intake (26.4%), and not feeling any changes after protein intake (12.8%).


Bones are the hardest tissue that make up the human skeleton, but as people age, bone density gradually weakens due to aging. As age increases, calcium absorption in the intestines decreases, and there are cases of easily sustaining fractures. Along with weakening due to aging of bone density, muscle loss can also pose a threat to health. To prevent this, it is recommended to consume goat milk, which contains high levels of protein and calcium.



Goat milk refers to milk obtained from goats, and it is characterized by being easier to digest and more nutritious than cow's milk. Additionally, it tends to be low in calories and contains a high amount of protein, which is essential for middle-aged and older adults, such as those with osteoporosis. It also contains abundant vitamins and minerals beneficial to bone density.
