Sarcopenia — age-related muscle loss — affects men and women. It raises fall risk, weakens metabolism, and makes weight management harder.
The one-two punch
- Lift weights or use resistance bands twice weekly
- Eat 25–35 grams protein per main meal
- Include leucine-rich sources: dairy, poultry, fish, soy
- Walk on rest days for heart health
Healthy eating does not have to be perfect. MealCoach.ai and Coach Kibo help you build better meals, understand what works for your body, and stay consistent — without shame or endless calorie math.
