+Maintaining muscle is one of the most important aspects of long-term health and longevity. While many people often become fixated on which diet is best - such as paleo, keto, or low-carb - we know that by doing so you’re missing a big part of the health and fitness puzzle. 1. Muscle helps manage blood sugar. 2. Muscle builds strength and stamina. 3. Muscle supports your joints. 4. Building muscle builds bone, too. 5. Muscle helps you control body fat. 6. Muscle may change your emotional state. 7. Muscle makes you more self-confident. Nutrition alone is not the answer to reclaiming your health, getting rid of excess body fat, and feeling your best. Nutrition provides the building blocks for your body, but you need strength training to tell your body what to do with that nutrition. Besides aging, injuries, cancer, and other diseases also cause muscle loss. Your muscle tissue is a significant factor in the function of your metabolism. Muscle loss can also cause physical and cognitive decline.

However, with the average lifestyle today, along with low levels of testosterone and growth hormone, high levels of stress, and the prevalence of type 2 diabetes, muscle loss is only accelerated. At some point, the rate you lose muscle exceeds the rate you can gain it. You cannot escape the effects of aging, but you can delay them. The more muscle we have when our bodies start breaking down, the longer we can last with our physical function. Yes, muscle looks good, but its value goes well beyond how it looks. 1. Muscle helps manage blood sugar. High-carb diets combined with sedentary lifestyles created an epidemic of diabesity (obesity and diabetes). About two-thirds of the population is overweight or obese, and prediabetic or diabetic. Obesity and diabetes aren’t always paired together, however. About 20 percent of those with diabetes or prediabetes are at a healthy weight.
+To fix the blood sugar problem, you could eliminate carbs entirely by following a ketogenic diet. Or, you could eat a more moderate amount of carbs and create space to store them by building muscle. Your liver and skeletal muscle store glucose as glycogen. However, if you don’t exercise regularly, and [[https://helpdesk-test.zcu.cz/wiki/HYPERTROPHY:_THE_FORMULA_FOR_OPTIMAL_MUSCLE_GROWTH|Read more]] specifically, train with weights, you lose your ability to store carbs. When you don’t have any place to put them, blood sugar rises, the pancreas secretes insulin, and you store fat. The more muscle you have, the more storage space you create for glucose. There’s also plenty of evidence to show that blood sugar and insulin dysfunction leads to cancer, cognitive problems, heart disease, and accelerated aging. More than one-third of the population has prediabetes, yet only one in 10 know they have it. Even worse, by 2025, 64 percent of the population is expected to have type 2 diabetes.

+. Muscle builds strength and stamina. During your first few months of a weight-training program, you gain strength without much of an increase in muscle tissue. In this adaptation phase, your nervous and muscular systems get better at using the muscle you already have, even when you don’t have much. You gain considerable strength without building any muscle. Then, after you’ve pushed your strength limits with your [[https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/existing|existing]] muscle,  [[https://git.obicloud.net/orvillesecrest|Prime Boosts Supplement]] you start to build more muscle. After a few more months of consistent weight training and  [[https://git.geobretagne.fr/lenorawhitten9/prime-boosts-official1998/wiki/Test-Tube-Meat-Nears-Dinner-Table|Prime Boosts Supplement]] a high-protein diet, you notice a little more shape to your body, and your strength continues to improve. You also notice that you can handle harder workouts and you recover faster than you had in the past. Although it’s fun to see how much your strength improves, the real benefit is how it impacts your everyday life. You can skip up the stairs without getting short of breath.
+You can carry your groceries without needing a cart. You can throw your grandson in the air and watch a smile cover his face. The strength and stamina come from the growth of new muscle fibers, as well as new energy-producing machines called mitochondria - you produce energy more efficiently. Your ligaments and tendons, as well as your muscles, gain strength. And your nervous system gets better and better at coordinating different muscle groups to make your movement more fluid and effective. Whatever strength you have today, if you don’t intentionally work to improve upon it, you’ll be weaker a year from now. If you’re not building muscle and strength, your body will break it down. 3. Muscle supports your joints. One of the primary reasons people avoid weight training is joint pain. Ironically, the reason many of those people have pain is because they don’t weight train. The better route is this: Figure out how you can weight train in a way that doesn’t make your joint pain worse.
