5. Prioritizing Protein to Combat Muscle Loss
Muscle loss, or sarcopenia, accelerates after 70. Even if your activity level remains the same, the body becomes less efficient at processing protein to repair muscle tissue.
- The Strategy: Protein should be distributed across all meals—not just dinner—to provide the body with a steady supply of amino acids.
- Top Sources: Greek yogurt, eggs, fish, lentils, and lean meats.
