Most adults achieve their peak muscle mass sometime between their late 30s to early 40s. After that point, adults lose as much as 3 to 5 percent of their muscle mass per decade. This age-related loss of muscle mass, strength and function is known as Sarcopenia, which can lead to muscle weakness and interfere with mobility. Below are some helpful tips to slow down age-related muscle loss:

 

• Exercise more: Exercise helps to improve muscle strength and slow down muscle loss.

 

• Eat more protein-rich foods: Our bodies need protein to maintain muscle mass.

 

• Take omega-3 supplement: Research has also linked omega-3 fatty acid to the maintenance of muscle mass.

 

• Take collagen supplement: High quality collagen supplements contain a wide range of amino acids that are readily absorbed by the body for muscle mass maintenance.
