You are less likely to have sarcopenia.

Key Results to take note of:

Your Screening form suggest a low risk of sarcopenia (<4 points). Great job on your Skeletal Muscle Mass Index (8.8kg/m2) which is found to be a little less than 8.87kg/m2 (Male cutoff) from the bioimpedance analysis. You just need to build up a little more muscles and maintain them to delay Sarcopenia from developing.

Your visceral fat level seems to be slightly high (11 where 10 is the cutoff). Visceral fat is level of fat distributed between the internal organs.It can cause a concern when it continues to accummulate around your organs and cause chronic diseases such as heart diseases.

What's the plan

• Continue to perform activities that build strength (like bodyweight exercises at the gym or at home or incorporate activities into your lifestyle such as climbing the stairs, carrying groceries, etc.). In addition to these strength exercises, you may want to consider incorporating some running/ brisk walking into your exercise regime to help with the visceral fats.

• Consume less deepfried food (such as curry puffs and french fries), high fat snacks (such as potato chips), alcohol and sweetened drinks (unless consuming isotonic drinks during exercise).

• Make sure that you have protein in each meal and snacks

• Spread your protein-rich meals out (aiming for 3 to 5 hours between meals) while making sure you're eating enough energy overall.

• Enjoy a protein-rich meal 4 hours before bed or grab a protein-packed snack right before you snooze. Ready to take your nighttime recovery to the next level? Click here to shop for pre-sleep protein snacks now!
