What about sustained exercise that raises your heart rate like aerobic exercise and endurance training? Yes it can also control sarcopenia.

Most research on aerobic exercise for the treatment or prevention of sarcopenia have also included resistance and flexibility training as part of a combination exercise program. These combinations have been consistently shown to prevent and reverse sarcopenia, although it is often unclear whether aerobic exercise without resistance training would be as beneficial.

What are the best exercises for sarcopenia (muscle wasting)? Resistance Training, also referred to as strength training or weight training. It uses resistance bands, free weights or exercise machines which may reverse muscle loss and increase strength. Sounds a bit daunting? Physical Therapy is a great way if you're not already in the gym to safely begin with these modes of exercise.

Besides protein and good carbohydrates, are there any other nutrients I need having sarcopenia (muscle wasting)? Yes. An important mineral which is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, many reactions directly related to muscle health and involved in creating proteins and reducing inflammation which can help muscle recovery.
Iron is another important mineral in muscle function by helping deliver oxygen to muscles and supporting energy production. Vitamin D plays several important roles in maintaining muscle health. Low levels of Vitamin D have been consistently linked to muscle weakness and a higher risk of falls.
Always check with your healthcare practitioner before taking any supplements.

Are there any other helpful nutrients to help sarcopenia (muscle wasting) besides increasing my protein intake? Yes. An adequate amount of GOOD carbohydrates are necessary for muscle maintenance. Without enough carbohydrate fuel, your body may break down muscle tissue for energy instead, contributing to muscle decline.

What are GOOD Carbs? H quality fruits, vegetables, whole grains are good examples.

The other dietary issues which can come into play with sarcopenia is not just a decrease in appetite and the inability to absorb amino acids in older adults, it's the quality of what you are eating that also matters. While higher intake levels of protein in older adults is important, so is nutritional value of the other foods you are consuming. Eating high sugar, high fat, highly processed foods contribute to a nutritional deficit and muscle wasting, While those microwave meals are easier, especially when cooking for one, they are ususally loaded with salt and ingredients and may provide little actual nutrition. Fresh fruits and vegetables are needed for your balanced nutrition as well, and are healthier than many sugary snacks.

Sarcopenia and diet. As we age, our appetite may often decrease while at the same time amino acids, the building blocks of protein, have a harder time being absorbed. Both those factors lead to muscle wasting as protein is mandatory for not only building more muscle, but MAINTAINING the muscle you have. When your protein intake lacks, you lose weight, and not the good kind, it's the muscle you lose. This weight loss of muscle causes the calvacade of symptoms like lack of stamina.
