(...) It can reduce high blood pressure, help manage weight and reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and various cancers - all conditions that can increase susceptibility to COVID-19. It also improves bone and muscle strength and increases balance, flexibility and fitness. For older people, activities that improve balance help to prevent falls and injuries.

  Guillain–Barré syndrome

This can result in muscle weakness and loss of sensation in the legs and/or arms. (...) For some people, these symptoms can lead to paralysis of the legs, arms, or muscles in the face. In 20%–30 % of people, the chest muscles are affected, making it hard to breathe. (...) It is most often beneficial when initiated 7 to 14 days after symptoms appear. In cases where muscle weakness persists after the acute phase of the illness, patients may require rehabilitation services to strengthen their muscles and restore movement.

  Physical activity

WHO defines physical activity as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure. Physical activity refers to all movement including during leisure time, for transport to get to and from places, or as part of a person’s work. (...) Pregnant and postpartum women All pregnant and postpartum women without contraindication should: do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week incorporate a variety of aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities should limit the amount of time spent being sedentary. (...) Adults living with disability: should do at least 150–300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity;  or at least 75–150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity; or an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity activity throughout the week should also do muscle-strengthening activities at moderate or greater intensity that involve all major muscle groups on 2 or more days a week, as these provide additional health benefits.

Appropriate levels of physical activity contribute to the development of: • healthy musculoskeletal tissues (i.e. bones, muscles and joints); • healthy cardiovascular system (i.e. heart and lungs); • neuromuscular awareness (i.e. coordination and movement control); and • It also facilitates maintenance of a healthy body weight. (...) The recommendations to improve cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness, bone health, and cardiovascular and metabolic health biomarkers are: 1. (...) Vigorous-intensity activities should be incorporated, including those that strengthen muscle and bone, at least 3 times per week.

The 500 g meat was divided into 300 g muscle, 100 g liver, 50 g kidney and 50 g tissue fat; and 100 g egg and 1.5 litres of milk were added (FAO/WHO, 1989). At later meetings, honey was added to the model diet, and fish muscle with skin in natural proportions was identified as an alternative to meat. (...) As the median residue value for an edible commodity such as muscle may vary between different food-producing species, it is important, when reporting, to identify the relevant species for each of the edible commodities.
