Vitamin D – Contributes to muscle function and balance; many people do not get enough from sunlight and diet.

The omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fish can help reduce inflammation and promote overall muscle function.
Proper fluid intake, healthy food choices, and limiting processed foods and sugars complete the picture.

Here’s a quick comparison of daily habits that help and those that can contribute to faster health deterioration:
Supporting habit Potential benefit Limiting habit Why is it important?
Daily endurance signals that tell the body to maintain/build muscle mass. Prolonged sitting reduces muscle mass: “Use it or lose it.”
20–30 g protein per meal. Fuel recovery and maintenance. Low-protein diet. Limitations of building blocks.
Solid sources of vitamin D. Supports strength and prevents falls. Indoor-only lifestyle. Common deficiency in older adults.
Balanced diet based on whole foods. Reduces inflammation. High intake of processed/sweet foods. Promotes better nutrient utilization.
A surprising finding from a research study.
Key takeaway: Research shows that adults, even those 70 years and older, can increase strength and muscle mass with regular strength training and proper nutrition. Age reduces performance, but it does not eliminate the body’s ability to respond to appropriate stimuli.
