Age Proof Your Body
If we take care of the inside, the outside will take care of itself.
Let’s start with maintaining the structural integrity of our efficiently designed skeletons. Two hundred and six bones are the foundational framework from which we ambulate. Ligaments attach bones together and promote joint stability. Tendons attach muscles to bone.
Muscles are the drivers of movement. They support posture and body placement. Eating calcium rich foods, fruit and vegetables and supplementing with vitamin D if deficient will keep our bones strong for the long haul.
Maintaining a healthy body composition is important in age-proofing the body. Studies have shown that a low percentage of body fat and a high percentage of muscle mass can reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, certain types of cancers and increase lifespan.
The best way to increase muscle mass is resistance training. Training is vastly different from exercising. A program with specific intentions like increasing strength, muscle growth, conditioning, speed, flexibility or improving balance is a training program.
Training for structural sustainability will keep weakness and frailty at bay. Whether we’re 18 or 80 our muscles will respond to the load placed upon them especially if we eat nutrient dense and protein rich foods.
Train for longevity. Eat to fuel. Live better longer.
