Muscle Is More Than Just “Tone” — It’s Metabolic Power

Savvy Bites: Real nutrition tips for real life

Want a faster metabolism? Better blood sugar control? More strength and shape — even when you’re not working out?

✅ Build more muscle.
Muscle isn’t just for bodybuilders. It’s your body’s engine — the more you have, the more energy you burn at rest. It’s also your primary site for soaking up glucose (aka carbs), which means it supports blood sugar and cravings too.

Strength training is one of the most effective and underused tools for women over 40 — especially if your usual routine is mostly walking or cardio.

You don’t have to lift heavy weights or join a gym. Resistance bands, bodyweight moves, and slow, consistent progress are enough to start.

Muscle changes everything. Don’t skip it.

Movement and strength are a key pillar inside my Nutrition Savvy for Life program — and for good reason. Building muscle isn’t just about how you look; it’s about keeping your metabolism strong and your energy steady.
