I recently hit a milestone in my life; I hit the half-century mark. I started getting solicitations for AARP and other senior related material. Really me, I thought a senior citizen no way but the reality is I am getting older and even though I take care of myself I still need to be aware and prepared for the potential changes within my body.
One of the largest long-term threats to our ability to remain healthy and function independently while aging is a steady loss of lean muscle mass approximately 0.5–1% loss per year after the age of 50, a condition known as sarcopenia. Even though I am active and healthy the thought of loosing my independence and mobility concerns me.
One of the most basic interventions to this type of muscle deterioration
