Summary
This pilot study tested whether protein biscuits made from insect flour (Tenebrio molitor) could improve heart health in older adults when combined with exercise. Thirty people aged 60 and older ate either insect biscuits or regular biscuits after supervised workouts for 28 days. Researchers measured changes in cholesterol, blood pressure, body composition, and other health markers to see if this sustainable protein source offers benefits for aging.
