Consume 0.31-0.36 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day. If you weigh 130 pounds, that comes to about 40-47 grams of protein per day, of which 30 grams should be consumed in a single meal to maximize muscle synthesis. Since this minimum requirement can change from person to person, it is preferable to occasionally consult a dietitian, to make sure that a healthy, lean body mass is maintained. Protein intake should be increased slightly after age 65 in individuals who are losing weight and muscle. For most people, a 10-20% increase (5-10 grams more per day) is sufficient. [2018] - Valter Longo

For older people especially, and almost definitely for those with no heirs, an annuity - either fixed or variable - can make enormous sense. With an annuity, you give up your principal, and in return you enjoy a yield typically far greater than you would likely get with any other fixed-income option. Many horrible annuities are out there. Most of the really bad ones are variable annuities. If you are interested in an annuity, contact the different insurance companies. It's a good idea to compare rates of return and product offerings.
