Happy Mindset Monday! 😎
Sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass as we age, has been a hot topic lately. Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor. Always follow medical advice from your physician.
Quick Definition:
Sarcopenia is the loss of muscle mass, often linked to aging. It can lead to increased frailty and injury risk. Resistance training is key to combating this, helping maintain muscle and strength.
Who’s Affected?
Typically older adults, with rates increasing with age. Muscle loss usually begins around age 30 and accelerates after 50. However, it’s often due to reduced activity and lifestyle choices, not just age.
So…Stop blaming age and examine your lifestyle!
A concerning trend: reduced high-quality food intake, like meat and dairy, in favor of plant-based diets, leading to higher incidents of osteoporosis and sarcopenia. This can result in increased injuries and falls.
According to a Harvard study, adults not doing regular strength training can lose 4-6 pounds of muscle per decade, slowing metabolism significantly. 😳
Strength training combats this decline, making muscle less likely to diminish regardless of age. Your muscles need a SIGNAL, a reason, to stay strong—weightlifting provides that signal.
Great News:
Studies show that resistance training even once every other week can halt muscle loss! Imagine the progress with 2-3 short workouts per week! 😊
Heck, I bet you spend more time on social media than that every week!
