The Importance of Healthy Skeletal Muscle and Aging

Healthy skeletal muscle plays a critical role in aging and overall health. The decline in muscle mass and strength, known as sarcopenia, significantly impacts mobility and quality of life as individuals age. Maintaining muscle health is vital, as it supports metabolic functions, aids in glucose regulation, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases. Engaging in regular physical activity and ensuring adequate protein intake are essential strategies to counteract the effects of age-related muscle loss.
