What observations and recommendations can you make regarding my health and eating routines, considering I'm 68 years old and concerned about sarcopenia? I would like to add muscle if possible, but I'm also content to just hold back sarcopenia, which has not visibly started in my body yet. I have been thinking of limiting my cardio days to two, my resistance training to three days a week, and adding maybe a light resistance training day. I plan to continue the pool sessions three or four times a week. Additionally, do you have any recommendations for supplements?
Is it realistic for me to achieve these goals at 48, and what specific steps should I take to ensure success?
