In order to maintain the optimal amount of muscle mass, win over hunger, cut down on fats, at the same time lower the age-related bone loss one needs to initiate their day with a high-protein breakfast claims health experts.

It has been seen that the younger population maintains their physique by building muscles, the effects of insufficient protein are generally seen in older adults, that often soar to cause severe muscle and bone conditions such as sarcopenia (the degenerative loss of muscle mass) and osteoporosis, claims Douglas Paddon-Jones, of University of Texas.

It has been stated that protein constitutes 50 percent of bone volume and 33 percent of our body mass, said according to dietician and sports nutritionist Marie Spano.

She further added: "Higher protein diets (optimally, between 25 and 30 grams of protein per meal) are associated with greater bone mass and fewer fractures when calcium intake is adequate."

The diet when substituted with carbohydrates instead of protein can curb the risk of obesity and obesity-related conditions such as Type 2 Diabetes. Meanwhile the health experts chip in adding that this move helps reducing health costs at the same time improves mobility in older age.
