From Dr. Gabrielle Lyon on The School of Greatness
Dr. Gabrielle Lyon tells why muscle matters so much as we age.
A great video with a ton of valuable content. Some takeaways:
“…the wider the waist line in mid-life the lower the brain volume…”
“…they didn’t have the physical or mental capacity to follow through…”
“…it is more important to build muscle than it it is to burn fat…”
“…the skeletal muscle is really the organ of longevity…”
“…it regulates everything about our metabolism. It is the primary utilizer of glucose…”
“…skeletal muscle is the amino acid reservoir…”
“…the more skeletal muscle mass the individual has, the higher their survivability…”
“…you have to prepare your body to withstand the storms of life…”
“You can’t out-exercise a bad diet but you can’t out-diet no exercise.”
“Resistance exercise has a much bigger impact than nutrition.”
