Bites & Insights: Lifestyle choices for healthy aging

Lifestyle choices for healthy aging

Muscle loss is often seen as an unavoidable part of aging, yet research shows there are meaningful steps we can take to maintain strength. This talk will explore how resistence exercise and everyday nutrition choices can support strength and mobility, with practical guidance that is safe, realistic, and effective.

Caroline Lowisz is a PhD student in the Department of Kinesiology at McMaster University and a member of the Protein Metabolism Research Lab. Her work focuses on practical strategies to help older adults maintain muscle, strength and overall health. Caroline recently completed a two-year study on protein quality and lighter-load resistance training and is committed to sharing research in ways that translate into meaningful, everyday action.
