How Can I Keep My Muscles Strong?

Because researchers and scientists have yet to discover a simple way to keeping your muscles stronger even as you age, there are some routine exercises you can do to maintain muscle mass and strength that is less complicated and less costly. It’s key to start these sort of exercises early because about 60% of people over the age of 65 are insufficiently active or overtly inactive, and many have poor nutrition.

1. Keep Your Motor Running. Having strength in your muscles is great for keeping a high metabolism. Maintain your daily activities such as, walking, gardening, and other household tasks. This way you are increasing your metabolism and keep you healthy and strong.
2. Consume More Protein. Although, it is important for anyone who is active to consume appropriate amounts of protein, it is especially important for older people to eat more protein, with a focus on leaner sources. A study has shown that low vitamin D levels can be associated with low muscle strength, so supplementing it has shown to increase strength and function and reduce injury from falls.
3. Maintaining A Workout Regimen. Evidence continues to show the benefits of exercise at any age. A study was done by the Journal Of American Medical Association has found that an exercise program reduced the onset of major disability for at-risk older adults by 18% over about 2 1/2 years.

It’s also very important to maintain a healthy diet even as you age, no matter what our bodies perform better when we consume foods that are good for it; no matter what age you are! There is no excuse for eating unhealthy, processed foods that can only hurt your body even more and ultimately, could result in early death!

Consume foods such as, fruits; they are filled with antioxidants and a variety of vitamins to support a healthy body in many ways. Veggies carry a lot of those same vitamins and antioxidants as well. Make sure to get lots of calcium, grains and protein in your diet to avoid getting sick, or being affected by serious health risks.
