About this episode
Did you know that skeletal muscle accounts for more than 40% of our body and is recognized as the largest organ? And we lose 3–8% of muscle mass per decade after turning 30, with this rate accelerating after 50. Sadly, muscle health has often been overlooked.
For busy office professionals with sedentary lifestyle, the rate of muscle mass loss is even higher.
In this episode you can learn about all aspects of muscle health and its connection to our wellbeing.
You'll learn about:
🏋️♀️ The pivotal role of skeletal muscle in our well-being
🍏 How skeletal muscle influences our metabolic health
