Have you ever heard of sarcopenia?
As age increases, muscle quality and quantity will gradually decrease, and everyone has the potential risk of sarcopenia. The effects of sarcopenia are quite wide-ranging. Muscle loss can lead to debility, weakness, fatigue, and unsteady gait, making it easier to fall and increasing the risk of injury and disability.
In particular, sarcopenic obesity, that is, the condition of suffering from both sarcopenia and obesity, is more harmful to health and is more likely to cause cardiovascular disease and increase mortality. Many diabetics or people with high glycated hemoglobin are accompanied by sarcopenia, because insulin resistance will prevent protein from participating in muscle metabolism and hinder muscle formation. This is why people with diabetes have less muscle. Therefore, people who want to gain muscle, such as athletes, need to control their blood sugar well so that they can more easily achieve the effect of muscle gain.
To prevent sarcopenia from coming to you, you should avoid a sedentary lifestyle, develop exercise habits, perform resistance exercises regularly, and eat a balanced diet. This not only helps control blood sugar and weight, but also prevents sarcopenia from coming to your doorstep!
