Do you know what keeps you healthy?
Strength Training!
Do you know what Sarcopenia is? It’s the natural loss of muscle tissue do to the aging process.
Do you know what speeds up Sarcopenia? Being physically inactive and eating crap.
Do you know what burns a shit ton of valuable muscle tissue?
Sarcopenia coupled with a weight loss drug like Ozempic.
You’re supposed to be doing your best to hold onto muscle, not speed up the process of losing it.
It’s nice that Dr’s are pushing this medication on people when in 5 or 10 years down the road they will be a droopy bag of bones.
I know, I know, “it’s better than being unhealthy and overweight”. That’s what I hear all the time.
Is it better?
Is it better to be malnourished and unhealthy with no muscle so when someone takes a spill they won’t be able to get back on their feet?
Funny I should mention that, this specific thing happened on Saturday.
Diana was running to the gym and tripped on the sidewalk and with no time to brace landed on her hands and knees.
Now, while this may seem hysterical at first, it’s not.
Diana was only able to walk unscathed with minor scratches because she’s been lifting and doing Crossfit for 17 years!
Not only did she get up but she also finished running to the gym and worked out, and she’s fuckin old!
If this was someone her age who doesn’t train or eat well with no muscle mass this could have been a murder scene.
