Combat Sarcopenia and Preserve Muscle Mass with Athletes Kitchen’s Nutritious Meal Delivery Service

As we journey through life, our bodies undergo natural changes, and one significant aspect is the decline of muscle mass as we age. This decrease in muscle mass, known as Sarcopenia, can lead to several challenges, including a slower metabolism, reduced mobility, and an increased susceptibility to injuries. At Athletes Kitchen, we understand the importance of combating muscle atrophy and preserving functional independence, which is why we have meticulously crafted meal plans enriched with protein to address this concern.

Understanding Sarcopenia and Its Implications

Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass, can have far-reaching consequences on our overall health and well-being. Not only does it increase the risk of falls and fractures, but it also contributes to a decline in bone density and may lead to stiff joints and a decrease in height. Factors such as anabolic resistance, reduced protein intake, and decreased physical activity are key contributors to this degenerative process.

Combatting Sarcopenia with Protein-Rich Meal Plans

At Athletes Kitchen, we are committed to helping you combat Sarcopenia and its effects on your body. To promote muscle preservation and growth, the International Society for Sports Nutrition recommends a daily protein intake of 1.4-2.0 grams per kilogram of body weight. Our carefully curated meal delivery service ensures that each meal provides you with around 30 grams of high-quality protein, supporting your muscle needs.

The Power of Resistance Training

In conjunction with our protein-rich meal plans, we emphasize the importance of resistance training. Our exercise programs, which encompass weight lifting and bodyweight exercises, play a pivotal role in preserving and building muscle mass. By engaging in resistance training, your muscles contract against external loads, stimulating muscle growth and strength. Compound movements like squats, steps, planks, rows, and push ups target multiple major muscle groups simultaneously, optimizing your workout routine.
