Mitochondria, Muscle Health, and Exercise with Advancing Age
Muscle health is dependent on the optimal function of its mitochondria. Reduced physical activity along with aging causes declines in mitochondrial function. Exercise is an important strategy to stimulate mitochondrial function to help aging individuals improve muscle function and quality of life.
Rebuilding Muscle Mass: Protein and HMB
Our muscles need protein to provide the nutrients necessary to rebuild, but research has also shown that the nutritional supplement HMB can aid in this process.
Midlife muscle maintenance: the nutritional secret to building muscle in your 40s and beyond

Effects of Nutrition & Exercise on Muscle & Bone Health
Proper nutrition and exercise play a key role in keeping your bones and muscles healthy.
How to build muscle as age tears it down
The loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) is a leading contributor to frailty and loss of independence associated with aging. Regardless of age or fitness level a study showed that muscle loss and loss of strength can be slowed considerably and even in some cases reversed.
Are Your Genes to Blame for Losing Muscle as You Age?
Every person has different genetic components that can affect muscle function and how that factors into muscle gain and loss for each individual. When genetics are mixed with poor lifestyle choices it can cause you to lose muscle mass at a faster rate.
