Staying Young While Growing Old
What do you think keeps you from staying young, as you get older? Besides the too obvious answer of “age”……!
Stop and think a little. The answer I am heading toward may surprise you – in a word muscle tissue (OK that’s two words). And it is the lack of muscle tissue that makes the aging process more pronounced. Less muscle means lower metabolism since muscle tissue requires energy and calories to maintain itself, while fat needs much less. More muscle means a leaner look since muscle takes up less space than fat.
