Age related muscle loss can be significantly accelerated through poor lifestyle choices all of which will suppress testosterone levels, increase cortisol and signal to the body to offload necessary muscle that you need for future years.

You can trace every overweight persons problem right back to the choices they make everyday. Immobility is mostly the same.

When it comes to weight loss, the most important exercise you can perform is the exercise of restraint.

Your reminder that it's much better to not eat the 500 calories in the first place than it is to eat it, and then spend 1 hour performing the 'best weight loss exercise' to burn it off.

One in 2 women & one in 3 men in the UK do not exercise. This is why you’re expected to lose muscle & feel pain when you enter your 50’s, because unfortunately losing muscle and feeling pain is now the norm

Strength and quality of life are synonymous. The stronger you are the more independent you will be for longer

Something that most older adults do well is walking. But whilst its great for your heart, lungs and circulation it does little in the way of preventing muscle loss & bone loss. I recommend all older adults add in weekly resistance training as an addition to your walking routine

Muscle burns upto 7 times the calories of fat just to be maintained. This inefficiency drains your resources, and so, if you’re not using them like you should, your body will happily give them up to conserve energy and put it to use elsewhere. Stay strong

The research is clear. Making changes at any age (even 60, 70 or 80) can have a substantial improvement in your health and longevity. And it’s never too late to start.

Combining strength training with the right quality protein can both preserve and build muscle at any age, which is necessary if we want to stay strong, agile, and active as long as we live. Remember the goal is always to have a health span equal to your life span. 💛

Both of these things can be improved by adopting a simple strength based exercise routine and eating good quality foods (in the right quantities) They can both be done at home, and require minimal time commitment. Yet the impact it would have on your future life is immeasurable
