Skipping meals reduces your body’s ability to maintain muscle.
Try:
- Smaller, more frequent meals
- Easy-to-digest foods
- Adding drinks when appetite is low
Keep Hydrated
Dehydration can make muscles feel weak and tired.
Aim for:
- Small sips throughout the day
- Warm drinks if cold water feels uncomfortable
Prioritize Sleep
Muscles recover while you rest.
Poor sleep can affect:
- Strength
- Balance
- Energy levels
And here’s something many people overlook.
Stress and worry can also reduce appetite and energy. Staying socially connected and mentally active plays a role too.
