This is a YouTube video titled "Want To Age Well? You Need This" containing a conversation recorded on March 7, 2024, featuring JJ and Ask AI Mark discussing the importance of building and maintaining muscle mass for healthy aging and maintaining physical function into older age.
This is a thing that's like, when you really look at it, you go, right, we should be focusing on building as much muscle as we possibly can. Like that is my big focus now is like, I want to go into my 70s, 80s, 90s with as much muscle as possible. Quality muscle, you know, strong, powerful.
That's a really important message, JJ. What you just said is sort of the key take home here is that you want to go into your older years with lots of muscle. The more you have, the more you'll be able to do, the higher function you'll have in life, the better metabolic health, the less the disease you'll have, the more you'll be able to do what you love to do. I mean, it's fine getting older. If you have a great mind, you want to sit in a wheelchair and read your books. Fine. But, like, I think a lot of us just want to be able to do stuff. And why not play tennis when you're 100 years old? Right. And why not ride a horse? Why not do the things that actually you love? Because your body can.
