Keep lower body muscles for a healthy lifespan… In some cases, 70% of the muscles in the entire body are concentrated

Should I have slim calves even when I get older? There are cases where you take protein supplements while reducing the importance of muscle. Natural food is the most efficient and safe for our body. Even if you eat three meals a day, you don’t have to look for factory-made supplements. It is not an exaggeration to say that the healthy life span (healthy longevity) of old age depends on the middle aged thighs and calves. Why?
◆ You can understand the power of muscles when you are hospitalized… Why is discharge so fast?
Even if a person with strong muscles is hospitalized due to an accident, he or she is discharged quickly. Cancer patients should be more careful regarding muscle loss than cancer itself. There are not a few cases of death due to sarcopenia. In fact, even following colorectal cancer diagnosis, studies have consistently shown that people who have increased their muscle mass through exercise and food control have a lower risk of death. This is why even cancer patients, if they are able to move, need to stimulate their muscles by walking in the hospital room corridor. The saying ‘I get sick if I stay down’ is more desperate for patients.
◆ If the lower body of a menopausal woman draws attention… From muscle loss to osteoporosis
As you get older, you should pay attention to muscle loss. Even if you go beyond your late 30s, your muscles will naturally decrease, and it gets worse when you go through menopause. In menopausal women, bone health is also threatened due to a decrease in female hormones (estrogen). When you fall down, you just have to shake it off when you are young, but middle-aged people can suffer serious injuries, such as breaking a hip bone, even with a light fall. This is because osteopenia has progressed without my knowledge. Middle-aged women’s lower body has a great relationship with healthy life span (healthy longevity). If your thighs and calves are weak, you cannot guarantee a healthy old age.
◆ The reason why you need to protect your thigh-calf muscles… Contributing to the prevention of chronic diseases
The lower body is where all the muscles of the body are concentrated. There are individual differences, but it is often around 70%. If you have a lot of muscle, you use the calories from food well. It is good for preventing and managing chronic diseases such as diabetes as the remaining calories are less likely to be accumulated as fat. Skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and visceral muscle, which are essential for life, are all composed of muscles. If the muscles are weak, not only the visible muscles but also the aging of the major organs in the body is accelerated. You can keep your health by keeping your muscles.
◆ Proteins that are well absorbed are of animal origin… Beans, bean sprouts, and tofu are also good.
To protect muscles, it is better not to start looking for unfamiliar protein supplements, but to eat the foods around us steadily. Animal protein is best absorbed by the body. Chicken breast is efficient, but if it doesn’t taste good, lean meat such as chicken, fat removed, pork, and beef are good. It is more beneficial to eat boiled than to have burned parts. It is good to eat 1-2 eggs in the morning, and beans, bean sprouts, and tofu are also helpful. In particular, soybean food is also helpful in preventing vascular diseases such as stroke (cerebral infarction-cerebral hemorrhage), which are common in middle age and older.
◆ Strength training is good, but… Keeping your body moving is more efficient
There is a middle-aged woman who even does exercise with equipment that she was not used to to increase her strength. There are cases in which people suffer from followingeffects of suddenly lifting heavy equipment without checking for high blood pressure or heart disease. It is wise to start with safe exercise in your daily life. When you sit or lie down for a long time, your muscles shrink. You have to walk often and move your body diligently. The exercise of lifting and lowering the heel repeatedly can be done while watching TV. If you’re worried regarding your knees when squatting, it’s safe to stop half way. It is more helpful to constantly move your legs and arms than an hour of expensive gym exercise.
