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."

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.
