The Importance of Strength Training for Metabolic Health
Strength training plays a crucial role in improving metabolic health, especially for individuals over 50. By increasing muscle mass, particularly type two muscle fibers gained through weightlifting, metabolism can be enhanced over time, leading to long-term body composition changes. The speaker emphasizes that traditional methods, such as excessive cardio and restrictive dieting, often degrade metabolic health rather than improve it. Shifting focus to building strength and nourishing the body aids in restoring metabolic function, making weight loss more sustainable and effective.
