I need to know the best protein powder for my father. He is 80 trs old. Sleeps a lot. Is half his weight now due to complete bedrest after his brain infaction. He keeps complaining of a backache. We didn t find anything in the xray. I feel he shd develop some muscles which he lost due to l9ng illness. Now he fairly ok but now he Is week. What can be the best protein powder or diet for him ? Please help..
Dear caring setback pain after prolonged bed rest is common condition and since your dad was suffering from brain infection he has to take rest. This condition leads to disuse osteoporosis of bones. Also, at this age osteoporosis is very common. Taking protein powder is not a solution for this condition. Your father will require active physiotherapy in form of mobilization from bed and back strengthening exercises.  Adding to that start calcium supplements like tablet shell 500\u00a0mg twice a day. Protein powder at this age will lead to indigestion and flatulence. Start physiotherapy and he would be fine.
