SENIORS, Eat THIS Before Bed or Your Muscles Will Keep Disappearing | Dr. William Li
Are you losing muscle while you sleep? For seniors, nighttime is the most overlooked window where muscle breakdown silently accelerates. In this video, Dr. William Li reveals the science of why muscles shrink at night — and the simple, evidence-based foods and nutrients that can protect your strength, independence, and longevity. You will learn: • Why nighttime fasting without proper fuel accelerates muscle loss. • The difference between fast proteins and slow proteins — and why casein-rich foods are crucial at night. • How your liver, insulin, and hormones secretly control whether you lose muscle or store fat while sleeping. • The critical role of supplements like magnesium, vitamin D, omega-three fatty acids, and creatine. • A simple evening routine to protect your muscle health naturally. This is not about gimmicks. This is science you can apply tonight. Try just one step, and see the difference in your energy, recovery, and strength tomorrow morning.
