This is because ageing can be linked to a reduction of appetite, loss of muscle mass and decreased nutrient absorption. The question that often surfaces is just how important eggs become as part of that ageing-diet structure. We're here to share that eggs can play an indispensable role in helping older Australians meet their daily protein, vitamin and mineral requirements to help maintain long-lasting health. There’s no doubt, nutrition plays a major role in supporting adults to maintain quality health throughout the ageing process – not to mention minimising and managing the risk factors affecting lifestyle-related diseases. And genetics aside, research consistently supports the health and lifestyle-related benefits of following a balanced diet that provides all essential macronutrient and micronutrients. Eggs are a widely-available, economical and easily digestible source of high-quality protein and essential vitamins and minerals – making them an ideal dietary inclusion for older Australians. They also contain a significant amount of leucine, an amino acid that is important for ongoing muscle support, as well as other key nutrients including Vitamin D and Omega-3 fatty acids, plus a little known nutrient, choline, which is important for brain function and linked to muscle strength. Eggs, along with adequate amounts of: wholegrains, fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy foods, lean meats, fish, poultry and unsaturated fats all form part of a balanced eating pattern for ageing Australians. A balanced diet that meets daily nutrient requirements can play a big role in maintaining peak physical and cognitive health and wellbeing; alongside being critical for bone health, eye health, vascular function, and immunity. The current Australian protein RDI for adults aged 70 years and over (81g protein/ day for men and 57g for women) is around 25% higher than the protein needs of younger adults due to increased protein requirements with age. Eggs are a superfood for older people given their high quality -protein and the fact they provide 13 different nutrients. needs. An average serving of eggs (2 eggs) contains: Required Nutrient % RDI for ages 70+ Protein 16-22% Long-chain Omega-3s 71-127% adequate intake (AI) Selenium 59-68% Vitamin B12 33% Iodine 29% Iron 21% Vitamin A 27-34% Folate 24% Vitamin E 24-34% Vitamin D 55% AI Zinc 4-6% Further benefits of eggs are their affordability, convenience, and simple preparation, making it easier for older single or couple households to prepare nutritious meals.
