Muscle preservation becomes increasingly important as we age, yet it’s often overlooked.
Cottage cheese contains casein protein, which digests slowly and supports muscle maintenance. Research published in the Journal of Nutrition shows that casein can help preserve lean mass over time.
Stone fruits provide potassium, which supports hydration and muscle function according to the National Institutes of Health.
