One of the best things for maintaining muscle mass with aging
is whey protein. It has shown in studies to reduce sarcopenia, in aging adults.

Also since you are on a DAILY diuretic, you are losing magnesium in a big way from that. Taking a quality (not oxide) magnesium chelate will help replace that.

This is my magnesium thread:

Having adequate Vit D levels also helps with magnesium absorption. (as well as with calcium).
