The way muscle mass makes you look, love it or hate it, is inconsequential compared to what it does for your health and longevity. Muscle mass preserves your freedom. Without it, you don’t get to CHOOSE how you live. This isn’t a conversation about being strong enough to impose your will on others; it’s about the fact that so many people stop doing things they love far too early in life because their bodies can’t handle it. Muscle mass is also a powerful shield against cognitive decline. Working muscle releases compounds (myokines) that protect the nervous system. The more muscle you have, the more protection you get. When you don’t have enough, your brain becomes more vulnerable. Muscle mass isn’t a pursuit of vanity; it’s a responsibility. __ #activelifeprofessional #behemoth #personaltraining #mentor #strengthcoach #fitness #cypress #katy #bebigbebold #activelife #alifewelllived #whatifyoucould
