Muscle Protein Synthesis for Longevity: Why Building Muscle is Key to Aging Gracefully for Men & Women
In this episode, we dive deep into the science of muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and why it’s a game-changer as we age. Muscle is more than just a strength factor—it’s our metabolic organ of longevity. Whether you're a man or a woman in midlife, maintaining muscle mass is crucial for protecting your bones, metabolism, brain, immune system, and skin.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
-
What is Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS)?
A closer look at the biological process that helps build and repair muscle tissue, and how this process can impact your aging process. -
Why Muscle Matters for Longevity:
Muscle is a powerhouse organ that plays a critical role in metabolism, bone health, and brain function. As we age, muscle loss accelerates, making it more important than ever to prioritize muscle health for aging gracefully. -
The Impact of Aging on Muscle Health:
How aging affects muscle mass, and why women, especially in midlife, need to focus on building and maintaining muscle to safeguard their health. -
Protein Requirements by Age and Gender:
Understanding how much protein you need to support MPS as you age. Why women, in particular, need more protein to combat sarcopenia (muscle loss) during menopause. -
How to Stimulate Muscle Protein Synthesis:
Effective strategies for stimulating MPS, including optimal protein intake, strength training, and other lifestyle factors.
Why This Matters: For women in midlife, muscle health is a non-negotiable strategy for graceful aging. Muscle protects more than just your physique; it protects your bones, brain, metabolism, immune system, and skin. It's essential to take action now to maintain muscle mass and strength for a better quality of life as we age.
