The Muscle-Centric Approach to Health
A muscle-centric approach to health emphasizes the significance of muscle as the organ of longevity, challenging the prevalent focus on fat and obesity. Rather than viewing fat accumulation as a primary health concern, this perspective posits that being under-muscled is a key issue, leading to various metabolic disorders. Optimizing muscle tissue is essential for preventing obesity-related conditions, as muscle mass plays a significant role in regulating metabolism, inflammation, and overall health. This approach shifts the paradigm from merely losing fat to enhancing muscle quality and quantity for improved long-term health outcomes.
