Maintain Muscle for Healthy Aging
July 7th, 2010
“Muscle loss is a serious issue that can lead to severe health and lifestyle consequences, yet building and maintaining muscle isn’t top of mind for most adults,” -Evelyn Granieri, M.D., M.P.H., MSEd, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons (Despite Risks, Americans Are Not Taking Action To Protect Themselves Against Muscle Loss As They Age)
Forget fat loss for just a minute- how many adults actually spend time working their muscles? “…starting at age 40, the body can lose eight percent of muscle per decade”.
This is easily preventable by spending just a few minutes per day with bands, dumbbells, and body weight exercises like push-ups. How many can you do?
