Muscle loss after 60 is easy to miss, because the scale can stay the same while muscle quietly gives way to fat. This video looks at why protein shakes alone may not be enough for older adults, and which everyday foods have the best evidence behind them.
A countdown of five foods, built around how older muscle responds to protein at each meal, plus a closer look at a randomized trial on omega-3s and muscle in adults aged 60 to 85.
What you'll learn:
- Why muscle loss after 60 can hide behind a steady number on the scale
- What anabolic resistance is and why per-meal protein matters more as you age
- What a Washington University trial found about omega-3s, and why capsules are not the same as salmon
- How Greek yogurt, lean beef, lentils and eggs fit into a muscle-supporting day
- Simple, doctor-friendly steps to add protein earlier in the day
Most of these foods are already in your kitchen. A few small changes at breakfast and lunch may matter more than another supplement.
