Reversing Sarcopenia and Living a Full, Active, Long Life

[@dogmund6677]

Summary: exercise daily. Short bursts of activity are best. Keep moving. Sprint occasionally. Cures or lessens many age related ailments.

Exercise daily is to much even for teenagers let alone elderly muscles just can't recover that quickly. Be active everyday exercise 1-3 times a week is enough

[@g.e.boroush5176]

Excellent information and presentation. There is NOTHING like being strong and able. At 68, I wanted a clear, concise muscle building program to keep me in good shape. This is just what I was looking for. Something that wasn't mentioned (can't get to everything, right?) is that bone health responds to the pressure put on it by muscles. If your muscles are weak and you don't use them, the body ceases to maintain parts that it doesn't use. So your bones become weaker and osteopenic or osteoporotic. But the good news is that just like you can rebuild muscle, you can also rebuild your bone. But you MUST use it. :-)

[@Eric3Frog]

Strength to weight ratio is very important for improved mobility and health span. Be as strong as possible, while as light as possible. This will require minimizing body fat, while maximizing muscle. VERY important to avoid injuring your joints.

[@dougm659]

@@jamesgilmore1684 I’m no doctor but I’d suggest you have a long conversation with a specialist in the spondylitis and scoliosis topics and see if they can suggest either therapies or diet regimes that will alleviate your symptoms. Diet is often the cause of joint or digestive tract inflammation so there may be things you’re eating which your body is reacting badly to! Good luck!

That's what I would try to do, but please take the advice of a medical profssional, NOT me, about this.

Great message. Doctors need to convey this to their patients. My mom dies a couple of years ago at age 89. She could not go up 2 stairs without holding onto something and extreme labor. I tried to get her to exercise for years, but no luck. If her doctors told her to take a certain medication, she just did it. I wish she was told to exercise.

Yes!! This is what happens. Exact same story for my mother in law except she’s still living -just turned 80. Moves in SLOW motion and has a mindset that medicines are her passport to living rather than her own lifestyle choices.

[@krissto22]

Your reply was 2 years ago, so for what it’s worth, I just want to say that you were very lucky to have your mom until her beautiful age of 89 as not very many reach 80. I think the average life expectancy is about 77 for women. That said, weight training exercises help a lot. My father in law was 96 when he died and only one month prior to his death that he couldn’t really fend for himself, but on the side of his bed there were 5lbs weights that he used almost every day. He used a walker in the last few months of his decline but otherwise he was fine. He could feed himself, watch tv, read books, go to the bathroom without help. When he was younger he’d be walking a lot and lifting weights but nothing drastic. He was not a body builder, just trying to save his muscles a little. My lesson learned - start walking and lifting some weights, and increase proteins in my diet, which I have been doing and feeling much better since.

Maybe you need to eat more protein in the form of red meat. Other meats are good too, but the iron in red meat is important too. It will help you develop muscle.

[@brianmarshall3931]

There are quite a few videos dedicated to just what you need - designed for us "old folk" to rebuild muscle. Take a look at them. Maybe try adding a small amount of creatine to your supplements. NOT body builder level - I use about a teaspoonful to a smoothie.

My joints hurt way before my muscles are tired, especially elbows and shoulders and knees, and that prevents working out with heavy weights to failure: joints fail before muscles.

I have been continuously taking hardcore, weightlifting workouts since I was age 16. I once calculated that in one workout I moved 17K lbs. per multiplying reps times sets times poundage. It is an ingrained habit and lifestyle for me. I also spent many years backpacking, mountain climbing, rock and ice climbing and running to train for those activities. I am now 82 years old and in the last four or five years, I have lost about thirty pounds of muscle and a lot of strength. I still work out and get sore muscles, but it takes about two weeks to recuperate. My point here is that exercise, resistance training, hardcore bodybuilding workouts do not stave off sarcopenia. You need normal levels of testosterone and growth hormone to avoid sarcopenia. At age 82, my testosterone level is zilch, and just try to get an MD to prescribe it for you. Some specialty practices will prescribe testosterone but will charge you large dollars.

Muscles get weaker with age, but tendons remain strong if trained properly and you don't put the extra strain on the heart when it pushes blood through bulk you don't need.

@@michaelb6510 , I don't, necessarily. But a lot of people want to (and old people typically aren't up for a lot). It is possible to stay in very good shape once you have diet and fasting protocol (fat adaptation) dialed in. Just with that, mitochondria are much healthier. Healthspan and lifespan will be longer. Add an HIIT routine and a weights routine once a week and you can achieve a very high level of health and vitality.

Great lesson, and one that likely is truth, although only a partial truth. This man, who looks great at 84, has found that hard exhaustive exercise is the way to build muscle mass and keep it into old age, but, he is big around the middle and likely has a fatty liver among other fatty organs, visceral fat, etc. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is an epidemic. It is caused by grains and high fructose corn syrup. Especially wheat. If this man would eliminate grains, sugar, carbohydrates from his diet, especially wheat, he would still be fit, but would likely have a longer life expectancy than he does now. He might be thinner, smaller around the waist, but he would have a healthier heart, healthier brain, healthier arteries. We who eat the standard American diet, even those who eat "clean" (a meaningless term), need to eat more red meat, more pork, more chicken, less grains, less sugar, less vegetables to be the healthiest person possible. Vegetables, yes vegans, are susceptible to terrible autoimmune disease, like ulcerative colitis, Crohn's Disease, Lupus, Rheumatoid arthritis, etc. from plant proteins leaking through the gut wall and their immune system attacking these proteins which in turn attack their own cells. But good luck telling them that, they can't stomach the idea of eating an animal.

You sir maybe very educated but anyone who takes God’s name in vain is a fool and if you don’t change your way of thinking you will soon find that out. Praying that happens before you leave this world. God is not the dammer HE is the blesser.

This is all fine and dandy for someone who has been muscular and extremely active all his life, but what about us life-long couch potatoes for whom a three pound dumb bell constitutes a really exhausting workout?

[@fleastiff3458]

is it really sensible to work out with a three pound dumb bell????

[@ONEDIRECTIONSSUCKS]

@@fleastiff3458 Flea I know this is an old comment however I think this will work for anybody at any age, you need to lift often and heavy A common way of achieving this is through progressive overload Some of the basic exercises people use to maximize muscle gain is squats, deadlifts, bench press, overhead press and pullups I for example am 30 years old and was at one time performing heavy sets of bench press, overhead press, squat, deadlift and multiple reps of pullups I started from bodyweight variations and each time I went to excersize which was 3 times a week I would add 5 lbs to each lift starting with 5 sets of 5 reperitions in a very short time you can be lifting hundreds of lbs per repetition and even a person who is in their elderly years should be able to perform this same type of program of course modified to fit their recovery a young guy in their teens to 40s can recover much faster and perform routines sometimes every day of the week while an older person may only be able to 1 or 2 times a week

You've got to start somewhere, and not give up. Soon you will be off the couch, and pumping much more. How are you doing 11 months later?

[@constanced6704]

Me too!!

[@robertsmith6068]

@@cameriqueTV yeah, that's the point. If you don't start you'll be worse off down the road and keep getting worse as the years go by.
