  1. Flex your muscles.. while you still have em!

    Losing muscle.. and you don’t know why? What is muscle loss? Muscles are vital to everyday function, and play a crucial role in human health. It allows us to stand, walk, balance, lift and breathe. Building and maintaining muscle is important for both men and women, because strong muscles can help to prevent falls and more. If you are noticeably losing muscle mass, especially without knowing why, it can be frightening. Have you noticed the following? A decrease in muscle size Reduced muscle strength Have difficulty balancing An impaired ability to perform physical activities                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     You may be experiencing muscle loss. Ageing A loss of muscle mass may be an inevitable result of the natural aging process. As a person gets older, their body produces fewer proteins that promote muscle growth, which can lead to a reduction in a person's strength. As a result, their balance and gait are also affected, impacting on a person's ability to perform everyday activities, such as climbing stairs, lifting objects and walking. Physical inactivity Getting little or no physical activity on a regular basis puts people at an increased risk of muscle loss. It may take as little as two weeks of physical inactivity for those who are physically fit to lose a significant amount of their muscle strength. Injury Sustaining an injury could lead to prolonged inactivity, such as bed rest, which in turn, can lead to a loss of muscle mass. If a muscle does not get any use, the body will eventually break it down to conserve energy. Poor nutrition Having a poor diet can lead to loss of muscle mass as your body breaks down the muscles for energy. The International Osteoporosis Foundation warn that diets low in lean protein, fruits, and vegetables can lead to reductions in muscle mass. Prevent muscle loss with 4 tips 1)      Increase your level of physical activity Doing a combination of aerobic exercise, resistance training and balance training can prevent and even reverse muscle loss. Resistance training strengthens and maintains the major muscle groups. Apart from exercises that use weights, exercises such as push ups, squats, planks, hip lifts and dips are just some of the equipment-free resistance training options. Yoga also builds muscle using body weight while improving flexibility and reducing stress.   2)      A healthy diet Eating plenty of fruits, veggies, and nuts will provide the protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats and vitamins that are necessary for muscle retention. Consuming more protein, which provides the necessary amino acids for muscle growth and repair, may help prevent muscle loss.   3)      Stay hydrated As we get older, our bodies tend to lose more water, which deprives your muscles of electrolytes. As a result, muscle strength decreases. To keep the cells in your muscles working effectively and optimally, be sure to consume the recommended daily intake of water (which includes drinking water and consuming it through foods). 4)      Xndo Le Muscle Xndo Le Muscle is a high potency proprietary blend designed to support muscle health and aid muscle recovery. It also helps minimise aging-related muscle loss. Xndo Le Muscle contains HMB, a muscle preservation nutrient which promotes lean body mass, protects and repairs muscle tissues by decreasing muscle protein breakdown and increasing protein synthesis. It’s time to flex those six-pack muscle facts! 1)      The heart is the hardest-working muscle in the body. It pumps 5 quarts of blood per minute and 2,000 gallons daily. 2)      The gluteus maximus is the body's largest muscle. It is in the buttocks and helps humans maintain an upright posture.  3)      The ear contains the smallest muscles in the body alongside the smallest bones. These muscles hold the inner ear together and are connected to the eardrum. 4)      A muscle called the masseter in the jaw is the strongest muscle by weight. It allows the teeth to close with a force of up to 55 pounds on the incisors or 200 pounds on the molars. 5)      Some of your busiest muscles are those controlling eye movements. These muscles are constantly making adjustments as you read, watch TV, or look around you. In an hour of reading, your eyes may make as many as 10,000 coordinated movements. 6)      Most of the heat produced in your body comes from muscle contraction. Muscle movement counts for almost 85 percent of the total heat produced inside the body. When you’re cold, your muscles contract involuntarily. When you shiver, those are muscles trying to warm your body.
