Muscle Is For More Than Just Mobility #shorts

One of the most actionable areas we have to preserve our health is to take care of our skeletal muscle tissue. Aside from the fact that what we generally think the muscular system is for— Dr. Locomotion, yeah. Locomotion. The fact is your muscle is the largest wet body mass of your body compared to everything else, which means it's the largest venous capacitance organ in the body. And what does that mean? It means that the stuff that circulates around your immune cells and your stem cells take up kind of transient residence there. And so by having healthy muscle and by working your healthy muscle, you're helping to mobilize and traffic those cells into your body. And that's how we effectuate the repair and renewal and renovation process that keeps us young. Nutritional issues, stress, and clearly declining muscle mass, I think, are big problems.
