Muscle loss in older adults is not just an unavoidable consequence of aging — it is a medical condition called sarcopenia, and daily habits are largely driving it. According to Dr. RN Veller, the process can begin as early as your 30s, and ten common behaviors are making it significantly worse. The good news: each one is reversible.

- —Sarcopenia starts as early as your 30s, says Dr. Veller
- —Sitting too long and low protein intake top the list of culprits
- —Resistance training 2–3 times a week can slow the decline
