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.
