Myopenia: Muscle deficiency and systemic diseases! "Storage" muscle exercises can be done at home.
Editorial department/comprehensive human muscles grow to the fullest peak around the age of 20, and then gradually begin to decline. You Jinglun said that from the age of about 30, it decays at a rate of 0.5% to 1% every year, and after 50 years old, the maximum attenuation can reach 3%. By the age of 70, a quarter of the muscles have disappeared. If no measures are taken to slow down the rate of muscle decline, it will become "sarcopenia". You may think that muscles are used to enhance strength. When you are old, your strength is weak, and your muscles are less, it should not matter if someone helps you do it. In fact, muscles have many important functions that you may not have thought of: muscles keep bones in proper position, muscle deficiency, bone deviation like scoliosis, will start to hurt and even affect other organs, and bone positions above and below joints will also shift, which will also accelerate joint wear. Maintaining a constant temperature in the human body is conducive to the normal operation of various organs, and 40% of body temperature is produced by muscles. Muscle deficiency, people's body temperature will be low, Japanese medical doctor Kenji Ishihara pointed out that every time the body temperature drops, the immunity will be reduced by 30%. The calf has the title of "second heart", because when we exercise the calf muscles, the contraction and extension of the muscles can help the veins of the lower limbs to return more easily and promote blood circulation. Muscles protect internal organs, especially the abdomen without bone protection. If muscle is insufficient, the body will add more fat to replace the protective effect of muscle. Even if the human body does not move, it will consume calories, which is the basal metabolic rate; With more muscles, the basal metabolic rate will increase and consume more calories. You Jinglun pointed out that every time you add 0.45 kg of muscle, you can consume 30 to 50 calories a day, which means that 1 kg of muscle can reduce 3.6 kg of fat every year.

Muscle loss affects life, and 70% of the muscles in the whole body are concentrated in the lower body. If you suffer from sarcopenia, it will affect blood circulation, lack of oxygen in tissues and cells, and hypertension, stroke and heart disease will follow. Myopenia can reduce the body's calorie consumption, and may also cause systemic diseases such as hyperglycemia and diabetes (see 20 16.3 Complete Reversion of Hyperglycemia for details). In daily life, the most direct impact of muscle loss is that the strength becomes smaller, and the lower limbs are easy to walk unsteadily or even fall down because of muscle deficiency, which makes people just want to stay at home and don't want to go out for activities. You Jinglun said that reducing muscle activity will reduce brain function and regulate various hormones. Kato Junde, MD, Showa University, Japan, also said that if the brain * * * decreases, the operation will slow down and get used to it, and the speed of dementia will catch up. A study in Taiwan Province Province found that sarcopenia is related to dementia. Wang Peining, a professor at Taipei Rongzong Neuromedicine Center, collected and analyzed nearly 2,000 people over the age of 50, such as weight loss, decreased grip strength, easy fatigue, slow walking speed and reduced activity. The results show that if more than three aging symptoms are satisfied, the risk of developing non-Az Harmo's disease will be significantly increased by 2.57 times. Life and health care The elderly should go out for a walk every day to exercise their legs and feet, and they can also accept * * * to activate their brains. Young people should take the right path in the right way and take care of their foot health in advance. Supplement protein to increase muscle density. Muscle storage exercise can be done at home: "Muscle storage exercise that can be done at home" Preparation posture Try to sit back in the chair with your back straight and don't lean back.
