The Importance of Muscle Mass for Women
Women should prioritize gaining muscle mass, especially during their 30s and 40s. Approximately 5% of women in their 30s and up to 60% in their 40s experience amenorrhea, which can be linked to inadequate muscle mass and overall health. The discussion emphasizes the need for strength training rather than excessive cardio or restrictive diets, as this can lead to a healthier hormonal profile and a more balanced life. Building muscle is vital not just for aesthetics but also for long-term health benefits, including better metabolic function and improved overall wellness.
