Can you still build and maintain muscle after age 75? Absolutely—but nutrition, adequate protein, and appropriate resistance exercise become increasingly important as we age.

In this video, we explore the surprising role that fruit and other protein-containing foods can play in a muscle-supporting diet for older adults. You'll learn why protein matters after 75, how resistance training works with nutrition to support muscle, how to think about protein quality and daily intake, and why no single food can magically build muscle overnight.

We'll also discuss how to build a more balanced meal around protein-rich foods, why spreading protein throughout the day may be useful, and how to make smarter nutrition choices without falling for exaggerated health claims.

💪 Whether you're 75, 80, or beyond, it's never too late to take your strength and nutrition seriously.

⏱️ Watch until the end for practical takeaways you can discuss with your doctor or qualified dietitian.

The scientific evidence supports the broader message that older adults need adequate protein and that protein combined with resistance exercise is important for maintaining or improving muscle function. Expert reviews commonly discuss protein intakes around 1.0–1.2 g/kg/day for healthy older adults, with individualized needs depending on health status.

Resistance training is also strongly supported as an important intervention for improving muscle strength, muscle mass, and physical function in older adults.

For older women specifically, consensus guidance has emphasized adequate protein, physical activity, and other nutrients as components of maintaining musculoskeletal health.

A 2025 randomized controlled study also examined resistance training and protein sources in middle-to-older-aged adults, providing newer evidence relevant to the relationship between protein intake and muscle remodeling.
