Preserving Muscle Mass for Overall Health
The chapter emphasizes the importance of maintaining muscle for anti-aging, cognitive function, and metabolism, discussing strategies like exercise, diet, and supplements. Insights from a guest pursuing a master's degree in sport and exercise nutrition shed light on protein intake's role in muscle preservation and the cellular mechanisms of muscle loss. The conversation also explores muscle maintenance during inactivity, the impact of immobility on muscle mass, and factors contributing to muscle loss with age, including anabolic resistance and neural feedback.
