*SARCOPENIA is a biological phenomenon.
Loss of muscle and skeletal strength due to aging.
It’s not a pleasant experience, but clearly if it can be stopped.
Let’s see what we can do!
1. Get into the habit of standing…don’t just sit!…and if you can sit, don’t lie down!
2. If an elderly person becomes ill and is admitted to the hospital, do not ask them to rest longer, or to lie down and rest without getting out of bed! By lying down for a week, you will lose at least 5% of your muscle mass, and older people have difficulty or fail to recover their muscles.
Typically, many older people who hire helpers lose muscle faster.
3. Sarcopenia is worse than osteoporosis!
With osteoporosis, you just have to be careful not to fall, while sarcopenia not only affects quality of life, but also causes high blood sugar levels due to insufficient muscle mass.
4. The fastest loss of muscle atrophy is in the leg muscles, because when a person sits or lies down, the legs do not move and the strength of the leg muscles is affected. This is particularly important
You have to be very careful with sarcopenia.
Going up and down stairs, brisk walking, running, and cycling are all great exercises and can build muscle mass. Move and move a lot!
Here’s to a better quality of life for all. Get moving… don’t waste your muscles!
Aging begins in the feet and legs.
Keep your legs active and strong!
With age and daily aging, our feet must always remain active and strong.
If you don’t move your legs for 2 weeks, the actual strength of your legs decreases by about 10 years.
Therefore, regular physical activity like walking is vital.
The legs are a kind of column that supports the entire weight of the human body.
*Get into the habit of walking every day.*
Interestingly, 50% of a person’s bones and 50% of their muscles are in the feet.
The largest and strongest joints and bones in the human body are also found in the legs.
70% of human activity and energy consumption in human life is carried out by bipeds.
*The feet are the center of body movement!*.
Both legs contain 50% of the nerves of the entire human body, 50% of the blood vessels and 50% of the blood that circulates through them.
Aging starts at the feet
▪️ *It’s never too late to exercise your legs, even after seventy or eighty!*
▪️ *Walk at least 30-40 minutes a day to ensure your legs get enough exercise and your muscles stay healthy*.
