Longevity Futures: Reversing Muscle Loss After 50
Longevity Futures: Reversing Muscle Loss After 50
Here's a number that should scare you. Between the ages of 30 and 80, the average person loses 30-40% of their skeletal muscle mass. Not if they're unlucky. Not if they're sedentary. On average. That 75-year-old who can't get up from a chair without help? That's not "old age." That's muscle loss that started 40 years earlier and nobody did a damn thing about it. The good news: it's reversible. At any age. The science on this is not ambiguous.
