The #1 habit that’s des.troying muscle in older adults—are you doing this?

Sleep is when your body repairs muscle tissue and balances growth hormones. Consistently getting less than seven hours reduces muscle recovery and causes fatigue, increasing injury risk.

Fix: Aim for 7–8 hours nightly and avoid screens before bed.

3. Not Enough Quality Protein

Older adults often reduce protein intake due to digestion issues or misinformation. But protein is essential to repair and maintain muscle.

Fix: Include high-quality protein sources (like eggs, beans, yogurt, or fish) in each main meal.

4. Overuse of Painkillers
