Episode notes
Physical activity, including moderate to vigorous exercise, is an important choice. Resistance training, even simple weight-bearing exercises at home, can help maintain muscle mass and improve quality of life. As people age, they naturally lose muscle mass and gain fat, increasing their risk of heart disease. Muscle plays a crucial role in reducing the risk by pulling glucose out of the bloodstream and providing other beneficial effects. It's not just about lifting and preventing falls, but the muscle is actively involved in many intriguing ways.
