LOVE THY MUSCLE :-)

Sun, 26 Jun 2011 19:49:00 -0700

Providing us with the strength to stand, walk and pick things up, our skeletal muscle provides each of us with the physical freedom we enjoy.

You see as the engine of the body, our skeletal muscle is the only thing standing between a strong and robust quality of life, and entrance into a sedentary lifestyle, frailty and the disability zone.

It doesn’t matter if your king or queen a billionaire or an average person like me, the speed at which we age is down to how fast we allow our skeletal muscle to erode based on the physical and dietary decisions we make each day.

So lets show our muscle a bit of LOVE and work to protect it from erosion by lifting weights and eating high quality protein at regular intervals throughout the day.

Join us for the next World Sarcopenia Day 06/21/2012. A campaign designed to get people to THINK MUSCLE! www.SarcopeniaDay.org.

Stay strong! :-)

via latimes.com

Getting a good grip on your health may mean … getting a good grip. The force you can muster when squeezing an object or a weight doesn't only reveal how strong your hand and arm are. It can be a measure of overall muscle function and — according to one recent study — even portend how long you're likely to live.

Senior Citizens Suffer From 'Tea and Toast Syndrome'

Thu, 17 Mar 2011 01:07:00 -0700

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Elderly people who live on their own that don't prepare whole meals or don't know how tend to dwindle their intake to "tea and toast" at the expense of vital nutrients and their health, according to an article published in the February issue of Food Nutrition & Science.

According to Nutritionist Ellie Wilson, MS, RD of Price Chopper Supermarkets, "Tea and Toast Syndrome" leads to reduced calories and a gradual loss of wellness and muscle due to poor protein intake. Wilson says research is showing that snacking may be a great way for seniors to meet their needs.
