Ultra-processed foods and muscle quality

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. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the Wits & Weights podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more evidence-based insights on fat loss, muscle building, and sustainable health, where Philip dives deeper into the science behind optimizing your body composition. -- Further listening (from ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Wits & Weights⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠): How to Allocate 1200, 2000, & 3000 Calories in Your Meal Plan Q&A - More Protein vs. More Carbs, Is Creatine Worth It for Muscle? -- References: Study on ultra-processed foods and muscle quality
