Building Muscle as You Age

 

It is typical know-how that we lose muscle mass and strength as we age. This is recognised as sarcopenia.

 

 

As another person approaching their 40th birthday, I’m intrigued to know what the research displays about this syndrome.

 

So, I dug into the research to see what, if anything, could be performed to reverse or at the very least slow down the actual physical decline we go as a result of as we age.

 

What I learned was fascinating, and I share all of it in this episode.

 

I’ll reveal:

 

• Why do we lose muscle and strength as we age?
• That this price of decay in actual physical capability is not inevitable.
• How you can preserve gaining strength and muscle mass up to your 60s.

 

 

 

There is a big quantity of research on this topic, and it was eye-opening to dive deep and find out that we are all largely in command of how much muscle and strength we have as we age.
