The ageing process can lead to a gradual loss of muscle mass and strength. This new @BDA_olderpeople resource explains more, including the importance of muscle health and how we can maintain or improve our muscle health as we age 👇 https://t.co/gGUA6QxC6B

It’s #NHWeek2024 . Have you checked out our new resource Eating and Drinking and Ageing well yet?

🗣️‘There’s no real thought about the prescription of exercise.’

Despite ample academic evidence of the benefits of strength and strength training throughout the life course, there is a lack of emphasis on strength training for older adults in community practice
