Hello,
I was wondering what would be the best way to get my mom and dad (both 74) to start lifting weights and eating more protein, ideally 0.8g per lb. of LBM? My mom and dad are both sedentary with the exception of walking around the neighborhood (20 min, maybe). My dad is obese (5’7 ~220 lb) and I have noticed cognitive issues starting in the past year and a half or so. Would weight loss at his age be advised or would it be better for him to maintain? I would like them to remain independent for as long as possible. Also, should they be doing any kind of cardio beyond walking?
