Episode notes
Resistance Training is Crucial
- Prioritize resistance training, especially as you age, to combat muscle loss (sarcopenia).
- This helps maintain functional capacity and prevent a debilitating cycle of inactivity.
Slowing Senescence
- Aging is inevitable, but senescence (body degradation) can be slowed through physical activity.
- Physical activity, both endurance and resistance-based, counters aging by activating repair and maintenance processes.
The Grandparent Myth
- Humans evolved to live active lives well past their reproductive years, like grandparents.
- This activity is crucial for maintaining physical and mental health, countering the myth that declining activity is normal with age.
