Studies indicate that increasing protein intake to 1.0 to 1.5 g/kg of body weight may benefit older adults by maintaining muscle mass and function, improving bone health, and supporting immune function. Carbohydrates and fat do not have the same benefits for aging adults. While water intake is important, increasing intake beyond what is needed for hydration does not provide additional health benefits. Alcohol should not be consumed in excess, particularly in older adults who may have a decreased ability to metabolize it.
