What good does it do to live longer if we're too weak to function?

Glenda - Ted Naiman has a talk on dietdoctor advocating high protein. Makes sense to me. He went through a lot of stuff really fast but the final conclusion is higher protein is better and definitely not dangerous. Towards the end he even has some interesting info about high protein and maintenance which appears to be a successful strategy for maintenance. I think I'm going to up my protein a bit.
