Listen now to start building strength today for a more vital future!
Dr. Scheinbaum’s dedication to increasing muscle mass and strength at an older age serves as an inspirational example of defying common stereotypes associated with aging. The conversation also delves into the significance of protein intake, gender differences in eating habits, and the importance of maintaining curiosity and openness to new experiences later in life. If you want to live a long, healthy life, you might want to learn more about the benefits of resistance training, personalized nutrition, and the value of ongoing personal development.
Resistance training involves using weights or resistance bands to build strength and muscle mass, crucial for maintaining mobility and independence as we age. By incorporating resistance training into your weekly routine, you can combat muscle loss, improve balance, and reduce the risk of falls, contributing to a higher quality of life.
Protein is vital to build and maintain muscle mass, with high-quality protein sources like lean meats, eggs, and dairy products being essential. By ensuring an adequate protein intake, you can support muscle growth, repair, and recovery, enabling you to stay active, independent, and vibrant throughout.
Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength, can be effectively counteracted with regular exercise, particularly resistance training. By engaging in consistent resistance training, seniors can reverse the effects of sarcopenia, leading to increased muscle mass, improved physical function, and enhanced overall health and well-being.
Having devoted nearly four decades to clinical psychology, Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum is renowned for her expertise in positive psychology and mind-body medicine. She is also an author and host of the Health Coach Talk podcast. In collaboration with The Institute for Functional Medicine, she founded The Functional Medicine Coaching Academy in 2014, shaping the future of holistic healthcare.
