Listen "Ultra-processed foods and muscle quality"
Episode Synopsis
We all know ultra-processed foods can harm metabolic health, but did you know they can also affect your muscles? A new study shows that diets high in ultra-processed foods are linked to reduced muscle quality, which could impact strength and mobility.
Philip (@witsandweights) explores the science behind this connection and offers practical tips on what to prioritize while still enjoying your diet. Learn how small changes can make a big difference for your muscle health.
