The more muscle you have, the BETTER your brain works.
Wild, right?!
A study published last year (2022) in the JAMA Network Open found that low muscle mass was linked with faster cognitive decline in adults over 65. 😲
The link was discovered as part of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging, when researchers from McGill University conducted a three-year follow-up of 8,279 adults between 65 and 86 years old.
The people with lower muscle mass showed a faster rate of cognitive decline compared to those with more muscle.
Scientists think it’s because those with more muscle mass were more active and also had better cardiorespiratory fitness – which meant more blood flow to their brains.
That’s why I like to think of building muscle as making deposits into your body’s retirement account.
Because building muscle NOW will help you stay active and blunt the effects of the aging process as you get older.
PLUS: it’ll boost your energy and strength, so you’ll be able to get even more out of every day!
That’s why my coaching program is all about playing the long game.
