Can someone please tell me the upside of aging?


Can someone please tell me the upside of aging?

"Why muscles wither with age is captivating a growing number of scientists, drug and food companies, let alone aging baby boomers who, despite having spent years sweating in the gym, are confronting the body's natural loss of muscle tone over time. 

With interest high among the aging, the market potential for maintaining and rebuilding muscle mass sees boundless.  Drug companies already are trying to develop drugs that can build muscles or forestall their weakening without the notoriety of anabolic steroids.  Food giants like Nestle and Danone are exploring nutritional products with the same objective. 

In addition, geriatric specialists, in particular, are now trying to establish the age-related loss of muscles as a medical condition under the name sarcopenia, from the Greek word for loss of flesh.  Simply put, sarcopenia is to muscle what osteoporosis is to bone."

Sarcopenia is to muscles
what osteoporosis is to bone






  


Anatomy of Muscle
                                 The BStrong4life System targets the                                   Myofibril muscle, or the "cable muscle".
                                              The upside is the BStrong4life System                     

Physicians, academics and scientist's are conducting worldwide symposiums on sarcopenia and how to define it medically.  Why are they bothering to define sarcopenia?  These meetings receive financial support from food and drug companies.  Without a definition, the pharmaceutical companies won't receive compensation from insurance companies and that hurts business. Clearly there is a financial incentive to clearly define muscle loss, or sarcopenia.                              


And yet experts say the best approach to restoring or maintaining muscle mass and strength is exercise, particularly resistance training.

The BStrong4life System engages hard to reach muscle tissue by simulating maximum load on the muscle tissue with minimal risk to joints.  Clients can track their progress week to week with detailed "strength" reports. Strengthening the muscle tissue that surrounds the bone stimulates the bone to grow as well.  When these muscles are strong you're better able to support your entire structure and relieve pressure from degenerative discs as well.
