Sarcopenia

Researchers have discovered that sarcopenia can increase your risk of many health issues including: falls, loss of independence, disability, and death. Decreased leg muscle mass is especially associated with our ability to walk as we age.

Increasing Muscle Mass With Age...

Researchers at the University of Florida recently found:

• Dietary interventions involving protein supplementation improved functional and/or strength with age

• Exercise interventions and combined diet and exercise interventions produced consistent improvements in maintaining lower body muscle strength

• A much larger number of older adults will have future problems with losing muscle mass than previously thought

Replacing low testosterone along with resistance training has been shown to prevent the accelerated loss of muscle mass with aging.

Testosterone has also been shown to up-regulate the genes that are involved in increasing muscle mass.

In summary, diet, exercise, and replacing low testosterone have all been shown to be highly effective at preventing this serious issue.
