What are the symptoms of muscle loss?

Muscles are the most important force-output tissues in the body. The human body relies on strong muscle strength to perform various movements and meet the most basic conditions for survival. Therefore, we must pay attention to muscle health and prevent muscle diseases caused by various reasons. Among them, muscle loss is a relatively common phenomenon, which leads to a decline in body function and seriously damages people's lives. Let's take a look at the manifestations of muscle loss.

Scientific statistics show that the muscle content of men does not change much between the ages of 20 and 35, but after the age of 35 it begins to decrease at a rate of 1% per year. By the age of 60, the muscle content in men's bodies is only 75% of that when they were young. We must not underestimate this 1%. For each of us, the harm it causes is definitely not as simple as we imagine.

1. As muscle content decreases, not only does immunity decrease, but the body's basal metabolic rate also decreases. The calories absorbed cannot be consumed like when you were young, so the direct external manifestation is weight gain.

2. Muscle degeneration, muscle contraction force is not as strong as before, blood circulation slows down, and severe cases may lead to cardiovascular disease.

3. Muscles have the function of protecting joints. Muscle loss will lead to the inability to continue to stably support the joints. This is the main reason why many middle-aged people experience joint pain and back pain.

4. People’s legs age first. When muscles are lost, the ability to maintain the body’s balance begins to decline, which directly causes us to become unstable and prone to falling.

Muscle loss is inevitable for everyone, regardless of gender. If you want to slow down the loss, then keep exercising. Muscles will only become strong if they are used regularly. In addition, after exercise, healthy eating is also important.

If you want to improve your physical fitness, increase muscle mass, and make your body look more toned, you can choose sprinting, high jumping, push-ups, sit-ups, and special muscle training. These exercises can increase muscle metabolic rate, improve body immunity, and help improve muscle endurance and strength.
