Dates (medjool) for Seniors (50+)

Fits in moderation
After 50, the body resists building muscle (anabolic resistance). Hitting 1.0–1.4g per kg with leucine-rich, easy-to-chew sources keeps strength and bone density.

Why it works for seniors (50+)
For seniors, look for soft texture, complete amino acids, high leucine — dairy, eggs, fish, tender meats. Dates (medjool) isn't a top pick — mostly sugar — tiny protein bonus.
