MUSCLE Loss leads to Disease

MUSCLE Loss leads to Disease - Part 2

Unfortunately much of what are told to do
(which appears to be the easiest things) is ineffective for preventing or reversing Sarcopenia.

Things like:
-no resistance chair exercises
-walking
-light swimming or group aquafit
-light weight circuit training

The above has health value, just not for treating muscle loss (sarcopenia).

Now that we know...
WHAT do we do?

First we need to further understand more about muscle loss:

With age changes in skeletal muscle fiber type and size occur with a decrease of Type 2 (fast twitch) and fat tissue infiltration into the muscle (Walston, 2012)
After the age of 30, adults begin to lose 3-8% of their muscle mass every decade which results in a loss of muscle strength and power in addition to reduced mass (English & Paddon-Jones, 2012).

Up to 50% of muscle mass can be lost by the 8^th decade (Walston, 2012)

Muscle weakness is:

...consistently reported as an independent risk factor for high mortality in older adults

...the most important cause of functional decline and loss of independence in older adults (Walston, 2012)

...associated with impaired mobility and an increased risk of accidental falls and disability resulting in a decreased quality of life (Deschenes, 2004; Wong, 2016

...VERY Treatable!

The pictures to the right are of a 60yr old women and
an 80 yr old woman's muscle fiber. It shows the increase in fat, and decrease in muscle, with age. Also, the graph to the right charts the neurological decline in the muscle fibers which is significant over an aging lifetime.

The Key is: with Age specific Neuro-Resistance Training we can offer an effective countermeasure to this decline !

Empower Yourself About Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 Diabetes: Empower Yourself The Science… Type 2 Diabetes is a condition that develops when normal levels of insulin are no longer producing the correct response from cells. In healthy people, insulin binds to insulin-receptor proteins on the cell membrane, signaling to the cell to transport glucose from the blood into the cell. Once in the cell, it is used to create energy for cellular processes, or it can be stored as glycogen to be used later. A problem arises however, with insulin resistance. This means that cells do not take up the glucose, causing sugar levels in the blood to remain high. In an effort to transport glucose from the blood to the cells, the pancreas produces more insulin which circulates in the bloodstream. High plasma levels of insulin and glucose due to insulin resistance is characteristic of ‘metabolic syndrome’ – a condition that combines obesity, high blood pressure and insulin resistance. Eventually, the p...

Osteopathy - The best Treatment method for you...

Do you have pain that keeps bothering you and coming back? Do you ever feel frustrated that some issues will never get better? Would you like to improve ? Osteopathic medicine may be the answer... What is Osteopathy? Its a form of medicine that has been around over 100yrs where hands are used to diagnose and treat. Based in a in-depth knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics and physiology, it uses gentle 'hand-on" treatment which balances out altered body mechanics, improves flow of nerves, blood, lymph and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). This provides a result where the organs systems and physiology resume "normal" health. Osteopathy assesses and treats the body as a whole; considers that all of its parts are interrelated and relies on the body's ability to heal itself. What are some conditions Osteopathy is successful with? Headaches, migraines, tensi...
