Sarcopenia affects many millions of elderly people each year, but you don’t have to become one of them. By combating it with good diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits, you can age with confidence and strength.

Resistance exercise in particular has been shown to be effective at slowing age-related muscle loss. RT puts stress on your muscles; your body responds by telling those muscles to grow bigger and stronger, which, of course, is the exact opposite of what sarcopenia does. That’s why RT is one of the best ways to counteract age-related muscle loss.

Walking is absolutely the most underrated form of movement ever. Walking is a free and simple activity that anyone can do, and studies have shown that people who walk regularly are less likely to develop sarcopenia—not to mention have a better overall quality of life.

Protein is the building block of muscle tissue, and if you’re losing muscle mass, that can indicate you’re not getting enough protein in your diet. Of course, eating more pasture-raised and grass-fed meat is the obvious way to increase protein consumption, but there are plenty of other protein-rich foods too: nuts, seeds, beans, eggs, and tofu, just to name a few.

Antioxidants help reduce the number of free radicals in your body, which reduces inflammation and prevents oxidative stress, both of which can lower your chances of developing sarcopenia. Be sure to eat plenty of foods high in antioxidants and especially carotenoids (like spinach, carrots, and bell peppers) and flavonoids (blackberries, kale, and citrus fruits, for example).

Your body needs vitamin D for maintaining bone density and absorbing calcium. But it also plays an important metabolic role in muscle health, and increased vitamin D has been linked to increases in muscle mass. It’s even anti-inflammatory.
