#97 Build Muscle to Increase Metabolic Rate and Promote Longevity with Sal di Stefano

They say that eating fewer calories may potentially make you live longer. Unfortunately, it can also predispose you to diabetes, obesity, and insulin resistance, if you end up causing metabolic damage. One of the best ways of combatting the ailments of modern living, such as sedentarism, overeating, losing strength and bone density is to do resistance training. Building muscle and strength make you burn more calories when doing nothing and it also protects against many of the other age-related diseases. It's incredibly important for longevity.
