How Balanced Protein Intake Supports Women’s Health Over Time

Protein plays a critical role in women’s health, yet it’s often overlooked. Throughout every stage of life—whether building strength in early adulthood, supporting a healthy pregnancy, or maintaining bone density after menopause—getting enough high-quality protein is key. It helps form muscles, balance hormones, boost metabolism, and support long-term wellness. Understanding how much protein women need and where to get it can make a big difference in overall health.

  • Supports: Muscle, bones, hormones, and metabolism.

  • Daily Needs: 0.36–1.3g per pound of body weight, depending on age, life stage, and health status.

  • Top Sources:

    • Animal-based: Meat, fish, eggs, dairy (rich in complete amino acids and essential nutrients).

    • Plant-based: Legumes, soy, seeds, nuts (high in fiber, folate, and healthy fats).

  • Balanced Diet: Combining both types of protein offers the most benefit, especially during times of increased demand like pregnancy or aging.

  • Personalized Help: A registered dietitian can help determine your ideal intake.

Take a Sunset Stroll: Join the June 26 Evening Hike at Hicks Haul Road

Join the City of Irvine and IRC for a 3.5-mile evening hike through the Irvine Open Space Preserve on Thursday, June 26, from 6:00–7:30 p.m.. The moderately difficult (Level 3) hike features scenic views from Loma Ridge, native plants, and natural sounds, with a 450-ft elevation change.

Join Irvine’s Pasta-Making Class on July 7 for a Taste of Rome

Roll up your sleeves for Pasta Basics: Roman Pasta on Monday, July 7, from 6–8 p.m. at the Irvine Fine Arts Center. This hands-on cooking class will teach you how to mix, roll, and shape fresh pasta from scratch while preparing classic Roman dishes like Alla Gricia, Cacio e Pepe, Amatriciana, and Carbonara. Great for anyone eager to explore pasta-making.

We will resume with the high school music calendar events when the schedule is available for the fall semester.

Irvine Celebrates 18 Pet Adoptions, 3 Reunions, and 2 Rescues

From June 16–22, one dog (Helen) and 17 cats—including Anakin, Basil, Bingley, and Sparkle—were adopted from the Irvine Animal Care Center. Two dogs, Zoey and Puff, were sent to rescue, and three other dogs were reunited with their owners.

Angel Cordero Named Big West Men’s Track & Field Freshman of the Year
