The Importance of Skeletal Muscle for Longevity

Skeletal muscle is a critical factor in overall health and longevity. It plays a significant role in metabolic health, disease prevention, and immune function. The health of skeletal muscle outweighs the importance of body fat in determining overall well-being. Skeletal muscle is responsible for the secretion of molecules called myokines, which have anti-inflammatory effects and impact various bodily systems. Diseases related to metabolic health, such as diabetes and obesity, often have their roots in the decline of skeletal muscle health.
