Forța și masa musculară susțin longevitatea. Iată cum se întâmplă asta ☝🏻👨🏼‍⚕️

For me, if I were to think of a hierarchy, my number one importance would be strength. And the reason it's strength is because we know that over time, if we've laid out the importance of skeletal muscle, we know that over time that this muscle requires a certain stimulus. And there are changes that happen perceivably with aging. There is a change in fiber type. The big, bulky muscles go from being, you know, bigger to more thin. We've all seen that with our aging parents or grandparents, you know, and my thought is, does this have to happen? And I don't believe that it does. I believe that one of the reasons that this happens, if we lose muscle, we lose our metabolic flexibility, we lose our ability. So it's not just about being overweight. It's about being under muscle. And so as we go through aging, it's not so much the endurance fibers that we lose. It's the strength fibers. It's the fibers that are utilized that are bigger and bulky. As we begin to lose these fibers, we then see an increase in blood glucose, which we know is a risk factor for diabetes. We then see an increase in insulin, insulin resistance. All of these problems will then affect the brain. And this happens not because of the gain of body fat fat, but because of the loss of muscle. And there is only one way to maintain these tissues, and it's to exert force and have enough volume and stress the tissue enough to be able to maintain strength over time.
