⚠️PODCAST ALERT⚠️
Muscle and Bone: Stronger Together 💪🦴
Lose muscle (sarcopenia) and you lose bone. Why?
Because:
* Muscle loads bone — less muscle = less stimulus = weaker bone
* Muscle and bone 'talk' via hormones (myokines & osteokines)
* Both decline with age, inactivity, low protein, and inflammation
* Sarcopenia → more falls → more fractures
* The deadly duo... Osteosarcopenia
Solutions:
✅ Lift weights and perform high impact activities
✅ Eat enough protein (1.2–1.6 g/kg/d)
✅ Get vitamin D
✅ Stay active
🧠 Your muscle is your bone’s best friend.
