Winter solstice. The winter solstice (or hibernal solstice), also known as midwinter, is an astronomical phenomenon marking the day with the shortest period of daylight and the longest night of the year. In the Northern Hemisphere this is the December solstice and in the Southern Hemisphere this is the June solstice.
The US Department of Agriculture recommends that all men and women over the age of 19 should get at least 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day (or 0.37 grams per pound). That means a woman who is 130 pounds should get at least 48 grams of protein, which could look like 7 ounces of salmon or 7 eggs. However, thatâs the bare minimum requirement. Depending on your daily activities, you still may not be getting enough.
A review published in a 2008 edition of âClinical Nutritionâ found that protein intakes of 1.5 grams per kilogram, or about 0.68 gram per pound, of body weight per day is beneficial for the elderly population. Therefore, if youâre over 50 shoot for 0.36 to 0.68 gram of protein per pound of body weight each day.
