The #1 habit that’s des.troying muscle in older adults—are you doing this?

Starting the day with just coffee and toast deprives your muscles of the nutrients they need. Skipping breakfast entirely sends your body into energy-saving mode, which reduces muscle support.

Fix: Choose high-protein, nutrient-rich breakfasts like eggs, yogurt, or oatmeal with nuts.

10. Not Getting Regular Medical Check-Ups

One of the worst habits is ignoring health screenings. Many issues like vitamin D deficiency, diabetes, or kidney disease silently reduce muscle strength.

Fix: Annual check-ups, basic blood tests, and medication reviews can uncover hidden problems and help prevent further muscle decline.
