We should all have muscle! It doesn't matter how old you are, having muscle is having health and gaining muscle is very simple, you only need 2 things: Eat correctly and exercise.
The best foods to gain muscle mass are those that contain a lot of proteins (with essential amino acids), carbohydrates (healthy) and healthy fats. Among the foods that will help you gain the most muscle are eggs, meats, mainly white chicken, fish, avocado, olive oil, among others. But to build muscle we also need zinc, magnesium, vitamin D, Vitamin B and much more. That's why in this talk we explain what foods will provide you with the macro and micronutrients that your muscle needs to function.
Also to generate muscle you need to exercise. Does walking help to increase muscle? How many days should I train per week to gain muscle? What are the exercises that will make my muscles grow the most? How do I know how much weight I should lift in the gym? These are very common questions that we also answer in this talk.
Finally, remember that sarcopenia is a disease that increases the risk of having diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, dementia, osteoporosis, etc. The best benefits of fighting sarcopenia is being able to reduce the medication you take since the muscle CHANGES your metabolism!
