Quote: “In movement, there is life” – Aristotle
“Genius starts with the abs Max” – The Grinch
Muscle is your bodies bank account. It is the currency of life. It is biological gold.
Why Do People Need Nursing Homes?
As a hospitalist I frequently have to place people in nursing homes
. I estimate that the reason why >90% cannot live at home anymore…….NOT ENOUGH STRENGTH. Think: needs help standing, needs help walking, unable to go up steps, unable to lift a dinner plate, etc. Additionally, I have noticed that as soon as muscle goes, cognition follows. Want to maintain your independence as you age? Start by maintaining your physic (aka – muscle)
Most people are concerned about having enough money for retirement. But, what people should be concerned about is having enough muscle. No-one can give this to you. It must be earned over years and decades.
You cant just talk about it, you have to do it. – Arnold Schwarzenegger
Strength peaks in our late 20s and early 30s. After this it declines by about 1-2% per year in most people. This decline is accelerated in the last 1 or 2 decades of life as we literally wither away.
