One of the saddest aspects of getting older is losing our muscle mass and strength.
This process is normal, and affects most people, usually gradually, but sometimes very quickly.
Our muscles shrink unless we exercise regularly. Physical activities we previously took for granted become more difficult. Getting up, walking, lifting weights, or even keeping balance is harder, as a result, we become more prone to injuries from falls and bumps. Our quality of life gets worse.
However, all is not doom and gloom. Physical deterioration can be slowed down. How? Loss of muscle mass is a result of a melancholic, or cold and dry condition
Life list to slowing down muscle wasting:
Resistance training (weights, water aerobics & using body weight as resistance)
Double the daily protein intake
Increase leafy greens
Increase water consumption ( Drinking water is just a habit)
Look at certified organic supplementation
Taking daily deliberate actions
Call in the help of a personal trainer/biokinetics specialist
