Growing MUSCLES Over 50 Years of Age

[@johnbruenn8755]

I just retired from my multi decade desk job 4 months ago. One of my retirement goals is to get back into shape. I cannot tell you how much I’ve improved physically in such a short amount of time. I can actually sleep all night without drugs now! Let’s be honest - a desk job will kill you faster than anything if you allow it to. Healthy diet and exercise Baby! 💯 💪

My work is outdoors and physical. I started doing a 3 k hike with my dogs through the woods 3-4 times a week. Big difference in energy and all round wellness. I’m more limber, aches and pains have disappeared, feel stronger and at 63 I have lost the pot belly. Started eating near keto, not quite keto yet, and my weight dropped 10 lbs. I wasn’t trying to lose weight. Love Dr. Berg.

[@DavidHealthyChannel]

Summary Dr. Eric Berg DC shares how to build muscle in this video: - Exercise: Resistance training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT). - Nutrition: Eat enough high-quality protein (red meat, collagen), supplement micronutrients such as magnesium, vitamin D, zinc. - Sleep: Get enough sleep to restore muscles. - L. Reuteri bacteria: Supports muscle growth and reduces stress. - Avoid: Sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy diet.

Thanks for the brief

I haven't eaten red meat for 20 years. As I approached 50 I started to work out, and had a significant muscle increase. I do eat chicken nearly every day, and started hemp seed protein about 6 months ago, which I believe has helped. I'm sure if I ate red meat I would see "more" muscle increase (I don't need more), but it is certainly not required. I'm not vegan, but I suggest people google "vegan body builders" and understand that it works for many people; perhaps not everyone.

An excellent resource for anyone looking to maintain or build muscle as they age. It combines practical advice, backed by science, with actionable tips on exercise, nutrition, and supplementation. The insights into the role of muscle in overall health and longevity are incredibly empowering, and the innovative inclusion of probiotics adds a cutting-edge dimension to the discussion. It's not just informative but also highly motivating, making complex topics easy to understand and implement. Truly a must-watch for anyone committed to healthy aging!

[@BoatMurderedDF]

I may get some hate for this, but I'd say the evidence shows that grass-fed red meat is actually the second-best source of protein. Eggs are the very best source of protein.

[@sooma-ai]

Preserving muscle mass is crucial for longevity as you age. Exercise, proper protein intake, and sleep are key. Sarcopenia, age-related muscle loss, increases health risks. L. reuteri probiotic may help increase muscle stem cells. Resistance training and a balanced diet are essential for maintaining muscle.

I'm a 53 year old housewife with a 2 year old active Labrador, wood stove (lots of heavy lifting to handle the house's wood needs), and huge garden. My comfortable max weight to dead lift and carry is 50 lbs and I'm 110 lbs myself, LOL. I'm an avid intermittent AND longterm faster (my max water fast is 9 days and max dry fast is 3 days). My upper body, especially, is well-defined (like it was in my 30s when I regularly lifted weights in the gym since I had a desk job). People afraid they'll lose muscle due to fasting are missing the boat. I am particularly active and my life requires "weight lifting," but still, I'm convinced that the human growth hormone (HGH) increase by fasting has done more to build muscle than fasting diminishes it.

[@angiefallon]

Thank you so much for your nice post....same here regarding the dogs and the woodstove....I have lost too much weight due to severe illness though thankfully in recovery except dealing with Chemotherapy side effects since early 2018. My weight is stuck at 45 kg...I had tried to leave a minimum of four hours between meals to aid peristalsis on the gut. Due to malabsorption issues that is difficult as I am always hungry. And despite walking a lot, trying to take care of my pets (including a few goats for a little milk) can lead me to be very tired..yet I cannot sleep. I hope this L. reuteri will help me sleep better. Also the more I do, I lose the little muscle I have in my upper body very quickly....I think I have to pace myself better, not overdo things and sleep enough. Hopefully it will all improve. I am so grateful to be alive 🙏

[@angiefallon]

May I ask what exercises you do for your upper body? Oh, and I am now 58 nearly 59....I was into yoga long walks with my dogs 🐕 and always active about 57 kg with a little tummy as I loved chocolate. Thank you again 😊

[@MrRich710]

55 y/o male here. I work out at least 3x a week with moderate-heavy weights...intensely, not just going through the motions like I see many my age and over doing. I almost never eat anything before noon and when I do it's fresh citrus fruit/juice. I don't eat after 6 pm. The last 2 times I ate grass fed ground beef from Whole Foods and the last burger I ate from 5 Guys all gave me allergic reactions which I don't understand, so I don't eat red meat anymore. My primary foods are eggs, pine nuts, walnuts, and pecans, and organic oatmeal and buckwheat. I take a grass fed goat whey shake once a day for extra protein. For supplements I take a vegetarian superfood, 5 grams of creatine monohydrate, 4 grams of taurine, and 400 mg of magnesium lysinate glycinate twice a day within my 6 hr food window. I recently increased my creatine to 10g from 5g and my taurine from 4g to 8g and my body is growing like I'm in my 20's. I rarely get over 6 hours of sleep a night but it's very deep, restful sleep. When I wake up, usually between 5-7am, I am UP and ready to go. No grogginess at all. Maybe I'm an alien or a freak of nature I don't know, but this all works for me. My point with this is, although I watch practically every video Dr Berg makes and have had many great benefits from doing so, everyone is different. Things that work for a lot of other people just do not work for me. You have to tune into your body and pay attention to the language it speaks to your mentality instead of just deciding that something is good for you because everyone else does it. Your body knows what's best for it. Learn to listen to and follow its lead. It won't let you down! And, thank you Dr Berg for so many great videos over the years. You have been very helpful in my journey. ✌👍 🤟

"Your body knows what's best for it. Learn to listen to and follow its lead. It won't let you down! " ^^^^^ this I eat mostly keto foods, but not on a keto diet, I haven't eaten red meat in 20 years. Some non-keto foods are fine with me in moderation.

We heat with wood, so I am stacking, cutting, and splitting wood. My husband sits in his chair all day. He has lost a lot of weight. He is less than 110lbs. In order to get him out of his chair I have asked him to feed the chickens in the evening. I just have to make sure I fill the feed barrel when it gets low because he can't lift 50lbs anymore. I do my best to get him to eat more meat, but he believes the doctors. 😕

[@fidelcatsro6948]

💪Dr Berg notes on this muscular episode: Losing weight should help you live longer, but it’s not always that simple. As you age, it’s vital to maintain a healthy amount of lean muscle mass. Ozempic is very popular for weight loss, but trials have shown that it can cause muscle loss, not just fat loss. One study compared the use of Ozempic to a decade or more of aging. Preserving muscle mass is one of the best things you can do for longevity. Your muscles help regulate your blood sugar and support your metabolism. Sarcopenia is the term for age-related muscle loss. When you develop sarcopenia, your risk for diabetes, immune problems, and your mortality rate increases. Exercise is the best thing you can do for your muscles. Protein is the raw material for muscle-building, so it’s essential to ensure you’re getting enough and spreading your intake throughout the day. Grass-fed red meat is the best source of protein. Poor sleep drains muscle mass more than poor diet because muscle recovery occurs when you’re sleeping. In summary, focus on the following as you age: •Increase lean muscle mass •Ensure adequate protein intake •Consume collagen •Increase magnesium glycinate, vitamin D, zinc, selenium, copper, B vitamins, and coenzyme Q10 •Consume iron from red meat L. reuteri is a microbe with many fascinating benefits and has been shown to increase muscle stem cells. It's helped me gain 5 pounds of muscle mass! Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍

I'm 72 and already in pretty good shape for my age, but losing muscle mass concerns me. I saw that you just mixed a cap ot L. reuteri into a bowl with inulin(prebiotic powder) and milk. Instructions I read on this stuff said you have to keep it at 100 degrees(no higher) for 36 hours. Please show us how you made your yogurt. What kind of "cooker" did you use to maintain the proper temperature?

And Drs tried to convince me i had IBS despite my bringing up blood, and all my bloodtests out of kilter, and x-rays and Mri plus Endoscopy showing Hiatus Hernia and Hyperinflated lungs ( from the prolonged partial blockage..gas build up) plus Gallbladder sludge 😢 Plus an incidental finding of a benign, mediastinal paravertebral 1 inch diameter Tumor at T6...2 Neurosurgeon have said to leave it alone.....other Consultants plus multiple Physiotherapists, 2 Osteopaths, 2 Chiropracters think there could be a link to my digestive issues....I cannot sit without pain, feel the Tumor worse when lying down or driving....so I am stuck in the house mostly. Am in Ireland....small population so the Drs do not come across these type of tumors often. They don't want to know. 😢 I have all the Mri scans...x rays, blood tests that show there is something going on....but it is Ibs. I feel so alone with all this....have lost faith in most Drs. There are so many badly educated, especially on Nutrition...it is absolutely incredible how little they know. Or it's better to say how they chose to ignore the foundation of good health.

At 60, I need to recover some muscle from prostate cancer. Should I take L-citurline and L-Arginine?

❤I am more healthier now than ever at one point I had bad health problems that I had to stop working at the age of 34 and from learning from Dr.berg and seeing the results. It was mostly from the Big pharma and 100 % Big Food + some stress.❤❤❤

Thank you for telling and sharing us a lot.

My doctor said about diets, that is always 50%-50%. We loose the same weight from fat as from muscles.

[@Samsara2408]

It’s not always . Doctors tend to simplify as they are not trained in this area. It all depends on the metabolic health of the person. If you are under stress and have high cortisol as example , most if not all would be muscle loss. Visceral fat would stay .

Great info! Thank you

Where can I get that microbe? Reuteri??

[@CJR434]

I take a probiotic with it in. Look for one with this strain in.

[@saumyajoshi9044]

Sir suppose i took 20gm protien from lentil so to make this protien complete should i take 20gm protien from another source ??

[@Porkypies6m]

animal protein is more bio available to the body

[@SpamMouse]

Lentils are 20% carbs, not a good choice.

[@quincy29125]

I have problems with fasting because of hormone grelin, it seems like i have more of this and hunger doesn't go away for hours until I eat what advice for fasting

[@paramountgetaways]

I know people that don’t eat meat and get protein from avocados, kale, alfalfa sprouts, wild rice. Don’t agree those are good sources? Was told kale has as much protein as meat in terms of weight.

[@Chicago8620]

Excellent analysis

[@just1john]

I love you, man.

My father is 96. He still travels, drives and lives his life like most of us. He is lean and has never lifted weights. This whole muscle narrative is overblown. Mindset, a clean diet, and genetics play a more important role.
