Why we need muscle

[madman]

Developing and maintaining muscle mass could be the key to living vibrantly and extending healthspan. In this episode, Stuart Phillips, Ph.D., helps us understand why muscle is so important and the best ways to develop healthy muscle. We explore practical tips for resistance training, the role of protein, and questions surrounding protein intake and longevity.

Phillips is an expert in both the science and the practical application of the best tools to improve your muscle mass and improve your health. His expertise will help you learn how to get started building muscle today.

CT Muscle Density, D3Cr Muscle Mass, and Body Fat Associations With Physical Performance, Mobility Outcomes, and Mortality Risk in Older Men - PubMed

Muscle mass and muscle density were associated with physical performance and adverse outcomes, and had independent, additive effects. There was little additional contribution of total body fat.

Is there a causal link between skeletal muscle mass loss and cognitive decline?

A recent narrative review hypothesizes a key role for myokine disruption caused by physical inactivity. While it isn’t yet certain whether the loss of skeletal muscle mass leads to the avalanche of negative effects in the way the authors suggest, the key actionable takeaway is the same old-same...
