The secret to a long and healthy life is…..
A new meta-analysis from the Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging reveals the best way to stay healthy and prevent muscle loss and frailty with aging is ..... wait for it ..... resistance training + balance training + higher protein intake. (Ta da!!)
This combination of strength training, balance training and protein intake provided the biggest improvements in walking speed, overall performance, balance, lean muscle mass and grip strength. Spending time doing any of these activities is helpful, but combining all three is definitely the most powerful and effective way to prevent frailty and loss of independence.
I love working with clients on balance and strength training, and can provide great strategies for getting in more protein on a regular basis.
