Not meeting your protein needs can be harmful to your bone health and increase your risk of fracture. Low protein intake can also lead to muscle wasting resulting in weakness and poor balance, increasing the risk of falls. Include protein at every meal. Add lean cuts of beef or chicken or legumes like chickpeas to salads and soups, add cheese and yogurts to snacks with nuts or switch a plain coffee or tea to a latte or fruit smoothie with milk.
