Muscle atrophy, also known as muscle wasting, refers to the gradual loss of muscle tissue. This can happen due to poor nutrition, physical inactivity, aging, illness, and other factors. When muscles aren't used regularly, the body breaks down the protein in them for other needs. Over time, this leads to smaller, weaker muscles.
Some key points about muscle loss:
- It begins slowly, but can rapidly accelerate without intervention
- Lack of exercise and protein intake make it worse
- It becomes more common as we age
- Diseases like cancer or heart failure can cause extreme muscle wasting
- Lost muscle is harder to regain than building it originally
Muscle loss due to aging is concerning because it can lead to
loss of strength and mobility, making falls and fractures more likely. Fortunately, staying active and eating enough protein can greatly reduce age-related muscle loss.
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" - getting on top of muscle maintenance early keeps you vibrant and active longer.
