What is the biological phenomenon of sarcopenia that appears in humans as they age?
Sarcopenia: The loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength due to aging.
It's a horrible situation.
Let's explore sarcopenia!
1- To develop the habit of being able to stand...
Just don't sit down!...
Don't lie down if you can sit!
2- If an elderly person becomes ill and is admitted to the hospital, do not ask him to rest more... or to lie down and relax and not get out of bed!
Lying down for a week loses at least 5% of muscle mass!
And the old man can't regain his muscles!
Typically, many seniors who hire helpers lose muscle faster!
3- Sarcopenia is more terrifying than osteoporosis!
With osteoporosis, you just need to be careful not to fall, while sarcopenia not only affects the quality of life but also causes high blood sugar due to insufficient muscle mass!
4- The fastest loss in 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 especially important!
You should watch out for sarcopenia!
Walking up and down stairs... light jogging, cycling are all great exercises and can increase muscle mass!
For a better quality of life for all in old age...
Move... so you don't waste your muscles!!
Aging starts from the feet up!
Keep your legs active and strong!!
As we age and get older on a daily basis, our feet should always remain active and strong. If you don't move your legs for just two weeks, your actual leg strength will decrease by 10 years.
So...
Regular exercise, such as walking, is very important.
Feet are a kind of pillar that bears the entire weight of the human body.
Walking every day is important.
Interestingly, 50% of a person's bones and 50% of their muscles are located in the legs.
Do you walk?
The largest and strongest joints and bones of the human body are also found in the legs.
70% of human activity and energy burning in human life is done by the feet.
The foot is the center of the body's movement. Both legs together contain 50% of the human body's nerves, 50% of the blood vessels, and 50% of the blood flowing through them.
Aging starts from the feet up. Leg exercises... It's never too late, even if you're over seventy or eighty. Walk for at least 30-40 minutes intermittently every day to ensure that your legs receive adequate exercise and to ensure that your leg muscles remain healthy.
Share this important information with all your friends and family members over 40, as everyone ages every day.
A very and comprehensive quick study, about the important role our legs play in our wellbeing, and how important it is to maintain a good level of exercising them by simple acts of life, maintaining few good steps a day. More so in later ages when many of us start neglecting those little daily steps and leg movements.
As always, my many tanks to all, stay safe and well. Quoted from Dr. Mazen Al-Rasheed's page.
