Muscle: The Organ That Protects You From Aging

Muscle: The Organ That Protects You From Aging

When people think of muscle, they think strength or appearance—but in truth, muscle is one of your body’s most powerful organs. It stores glucose, supports metabolism, and protects against inflammation.

After 40, muscle loss (sarcopenia) begins quietly—about 3–5% per decade if left unchecked. That decline doesn’t just affect movement; it impacts immunity, balance, and how your body processes sugar and fat.

Here’s how to keep muscle on your side:

Add light resistance or bodyweight training twice a week.
Eat enough protein through whole foods, not just supplements.
Prioritise recovery—sleep is where repair happens.

Muscle isn’t about bulk—it’s about resilience. Build it, and you’re investing in long-term health.
