CELLULAR ANTI-AGING

  Aging begins on the cellular level. Our cells don't regenerate as fast or function as efficiently as we get older. New research shows that high intensity interval training will improve the functioning of mitochondria which generate power inside your cells. This has a very positive effect on the functioning on your cells and can have a profound anti-aging effect. It is very time efficient as well, you can get a great workout in 10-20 minutes.

PREVENTING MUSCLE LOSS AS WE AGE

“As a rule, muscle mass declines with age, starting in the 40's and picking up speed after about age 50. Then the typical rate of muscle loss really begins to outpace the rate of muscle gain, so that there's an increasing net deficit.” 

~ Dr. Robert Wolfe
Director, Center for Translational Research in Aging and Longevity
University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences

This decrease includes size, shape, and aerobic capacity. How can you slow this process?

1. EXERCISE - be active every day, lift weights 2-3 times per week. This can help improve muscular strength, size, and function, as well as improve your hormone levels (especially growth hormone and testosterone.)

2. EAT QUALITY PROTEIN - sources include free range eggs, grass fed beef, whey protein, wild caught fish, etc,. Foods that are high in BCAA's (branch chain amino acids) which make up the bulk of protein in muscle.
