General tips and recommendations
Consistency before intensity: No intense training is necessary. A regular diet with these foods already makes a difference.
Adequate hydration: Drinking enough water improves nutrient absorption and muscle recovery.
Avoid ultra-processed foods: They hinder digestion and don’t provide the nutrients your body needs to stay strong.
Consult your doctor or nutritionist: Before initiating major dietary changes, especially if there are pre-existing medical conditions.
With these habits, it is possible to maintain an active, healthy and energetic life, even after the age of 60. Muscle is not lost over the years, it is lost with lack of action.
