Sarcopenia, or age-related muscle loss, is a silent but significant threat to men’s health after 30, causing weakness and increasing the risk of chronic disease. This decline is spurred by hormonal changes, less activity, and inadequate nutrition.
However, studies show that this process can be slowed or even reversed. Regular resistance training—using weights, bands, or even bodyweight—stimulates muscle growth and helps maintain strength. Gradual progression and consistency are key, especially for those new to exercise.
Nutrition is equally vital. A diet rich in protein, fiber, and micronutrients, including foods like pistachios and legumes, supports muscle synthesis and repair. Reducing stress, staying hydrated, and prioritizing sleep round out the essential steps for reversing muscle decline and enjoying a vibrant, active later life.
