Strength training is essential for middle-aged and older adults to combat weakness and improve overall health.

Collagen protein supplementation is not effective in increasing muscle connective protein synthesis rates and lacks claimed benefits for skin and joint health.

Consuming whey protein before a meal can help regulate blood sugar levels, making it a potential strategy for managing blood sugar and reducing related health risks.

Exercise can be more effective than medications in reducing blood pressure and improving cardiovascular health, emphasizing the importance of including exercise in hypertension management.
