Scientists believe they have found a way to enable the elderly to maintain muscle.
Muscle is constantly being built and broken down, which works to maintain a balance in young adults.
But as people age, the breakdown process is more successful than the muscle-building action.
However French researchers, writing in the Journal of Physiology, say adding the amino acid leucine to old people's diets could help them keep muscle.
UK experts agree, saying the best way to boost leucine levels is to eat meat.
