5 everyday habits that make women stronger (and can slow down ageing)
Tuesday, 12 August 2025 () As we age, a lot of things in our bodies change, especially in women, as they age normally lose muscle mass and strength, a condition called Sarcopenia.The loss makes simple activities like walking, lifting, and bringing groceries home difficult. Sarcopenia is an age-related progressive skeletal muscle disorder primarily characterized by a reduction in skeletal muscle mass, decreased muscle strength, and impaired physical function. It affects about 13 percent of adults 60 and older and up to 50 percent of adults 80 and older. According to a new study that was published in Nutrients, there is a clearly defined and effective method that women can use to contribute to reversing this unhealthy trend.The study assessed 21 trials involving over 1,200 women with primary sarcopenia. The participants were an average of 71 years old. Researchers made a comparison between three approaches: exercise and protein supplementation as isolated measures, and in combination. The researchers focused on three outcomes: muscle strength, muscle mass, and physical function.
