The Role of Targeted Nutrition in Muscle Retention
Published on February 5, 2026 | Chef Haruto Mori, Executive Dietary Chef

The natural loss of skeletal muscle tissue, known as sarcopenia, is a significant contributor to balance loss and reduced physical independence as we age. Fortunately, focused clinical nutrition can slow down and even help reverse this muscle loss.
1. Balanced, Easy-to-Digest Clean Proteins
Seniors require high-quality, bioavailable protein sources that do not strain the digestive or kidney systems. We prioritize delicious fresh seafood, grass-fed bone broths, and easily digestible organic plant-based proteins to support optimal muscle health.
We arrange each guest's protein intake evenly throughout the day to ensure optimal nutrient absorption and support active muscle recovery.
2. Tailored Low-Sodium Seasoning Techniques
Restricting sodium does not mean compromising on rich flavor. Our executive culinary team uses nutrient-dense dashi broths, rich ginger, high-antioxidant local herbs, and citrus juices to enhance flavor naturally while keeping cardiovascular parameters balanced.
