Coffee May Help With Muscle Mass As You Age, New Study Says

In the article "Coffee May Help With Muscle Mass As You Age, New Study Says," Scott Keatley, RD, co-owner of Keatley Medical Nutrition Therapy, contributes his expert opinion on the study linking daily coffee consumption with higher muscle mass. He emphasizes that while the research shows a strong association between coffee and improved skeletal muscle mass, it does not definitively prove that coffee alone preserves muscle as people age. Keatley attributes the potential benefits to the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of caffeine, which may help prevent muscle degradation. However, he cautions against starting a coffee habit solely for muscle mass improvement and recommends focusing on a balanced diet with lean proteins and resistance training as more proven methods for maintaining muscle mass.
