How to maintain muscle?

Muscles must be kept strong and healthy, so the body can move easily and function properly. Diet and exercise play a major part in building and maintaining muscle.

Muscle food

Protein, such as that found in pulses such as beans and lentils, meat, nuts, and fish, is needed for building repairing muscle. Carbohydrates such as cereals, bread, and pasta provide energy for muscles t work. A balanced, healthy diet will provide enough protein and carbohydrate for muscles to stay healthy and active.

Resistance training

Some people build bigger muscles by resistance training. Regular exercise of this kind forces muscles to contract respectively, which builds and strengthens them. It also tears muscle fibres, which then grow back bigger, weight training, gymnastics, and some kinds of dancing are all forms of resistance training.
