Easy Ways to Avoid Muscle Loss

The older you get, the harder it is to keep muscle. You've heard the phrase "If you don't use it, you lose it." Unfortunately, when you get older it's easier to lose than it is to gain. That is why sarcopenia is so prevalent among the elderly population 👩‍🦳👨‍🦳. Yet muscle loss increases the changes of falls, decreases bone density, and impacts your overall health. Below are some easy things to incorporate into your daily life to help prevent muscle loss as you age:


💪 Incorporate resistance / strength training

💪Go on walks

💪Increase your protein intake

💪Eat plenty of antioxidants

💪Get plenty of vitamin D

💪 Try a Group Fitness Class in Your Community
