Sarcopenia, or muscle decay, is the age-related muscle loss which results from a combination
of factors such as hormonal changes, reduced physical activity, and poor diet. Loss of muscle
mass not only affects physical appearance but also everyday functions, making it more difficult
for older adults to carry out everyday activities. Muscle decay can lead to:
● 1.5x higher risk of falls (Moreland et al, 2004)
● 2.47x higher risk of impaired ability to do basic and independent activities of daily living
(ADLs) (Collins et al, 2020)
● 1.64x higher risk of cognitive impairment (McGrath et al, 2020)
Maintaining muscle mass and strength is of paramount importance in older adults as it helps improve balance, reduce the risk of falls, enhance metabolism, and increase overall vitality. Strong muscles play a key role in maintaining independence and a high quality of life in later years.
Work with a healthcare professional to create a sustainable exercise plan that fits your needs. Try to participate in regular, moderate-intensity activities that combine aerobics, strength, and flexibility exercises for at least 150 minutes a week.
Prioritize protein-rich meals that contain plenty of high-quality protein to support muscle growth and repair. Include lean meats, fish, dairy products and supplements.
Integrate clinically-proven supplements such as Ensure Gold into daily routines. Ensure Gold, with its unique combination of HMB and triple protein can help slow down muscle decay and support muscle health with proper diet and exercise. Through a holistic approach that includes good nutrition, regular exercise, and targeted nutritional supplementation, older adults can continue to live a life of strength, independence, and vitality.

As we age, our bodies undergo changes that lead to muscle decay. However, there is an effective solution to this age-related challenge: movement. Regular physical activity not only slows down muscle loss but also improves the overall well-being of older adults when paired with proper diet and exercise.
In the evolving landscape of an aging population, the importance of good nutrition is becoming increasingly apparent, particularly in the context of malnutrition among the elderly in the Philippines. Studies have revealed alarming findings that about 30% of older adults in the Philippines were malnourished, highlighting the urgent need for targeted nutritional interventions.1
Muscles, the unsung heroes of our bodies, silently carry out countless tasks. However, as time progresses, these powerhouses face the inevitable effects of aging, leading to muscle decay.1Understanding the nuances of this process unveils the powerful truths about muscle strength that are often overlooked.
