Many people think of muscle as something only the young or athletic need to worry about, but in truth, it is one of the greatest indicators of long-term health and independence. After the age of 30, we naturally begin to lose muscle mass. By 60, this loss can accelerate, affecting balance, metabolism, and even mood. The good news is that it is never too late to rebuild strength and resilience.
Why muscle is your best anti-ageing tool
Muscle does far more than help us move. It is a vital, active tissue that supports everything from bone density to blood sugar control. By maintaining muscle through regular movement and sufficient protein intake, we protect our joints, posture, and energy levels. Research shows that older adults who stay physically active and meet their protein needs experience better sleep, sharper thinking, and greater emotional wellbeing.
Protein: the foundation of strength
Protein is essential for maintaining and rebuilding muscle. As we age, our bodies become less efficient at using it, which means we actually need more, not less. Try to include a quality source of protein at every meal, such as eggs, Greek yoghurt, beans, lentils, or lean meats. After exercise, protein helps repair muscle fibres and supports recovery, keeping you stronger for longer.
Movement that makes a difference
You do not need to lift heavy weights to see the benefits. Resistance exercises, such as bodyweight movements, light dumbbells, or resistance bands, can help build strength safely. Walking, yoga, and cycling also keep muscles engaged while improving balance and flexibility. Consistency is key, and even short daily bursts of movement can make a real difference.
Support your recovery naturally
As we age, sleep and recovery become just as important as movement itself. Moderaci’s Overnight Balance is designed to support restful sleep, hormone balance, and overnight muscle repair. With ingredients such as magnesium and ashwagandha, it helps the body recover so you wake feeling refreshed, restored, and ready to move again.
Stay strong, stay young
Building and maintaining muscle is not about appearance. It is about living fully. With the right balance of protein, movement, and recovery, you can feel energised, confident, and capable at every stage of life.
