Dr. Jeremy London, MD, a cardiothoracic surgeon, asserts that when you engage in strength training at the gym, you are not just enhancing your bone health or increasing your muscle mass; you are also discovering the key to a longer life. Living a longer and healthier life is defined as longevity, and one of the major factors that might contribute to this is muscle development.

What makes muscle so critical for longevity?

Dr. Jeremy discussed why muscle is the organ of longevity in an Instagram video that was posted on June 17. According to the heart surgeon, men and women lose muscle mass as they age, and they strive to avoid becoming fragile as they get older, especially with the possibility of a fall that could change their life or be catastrophic.

What happens, then, when you begin to preserve muscle mass? According to the heart surgeon, retaining muscle mass makes it easier to perform basic daily tasks. He stated, "Like getting out of a car, climbing a flight of stairs with stability, or getting down on the floor and getting up."

"Changes in muscle mass affect our physiology."

The heart surgeon went on to describe how increasing muscle mass alters our physiology. "It is a sink for glucose in our bodies. "By preserving muscle mass, we can actually lower our all-cause mortality," he said. "We know that insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, a recognized risk factor for cardiovascular disease, are caused by chronically high glucose levels."

But how do we accomplish this?

Maintaining enough protein in your diet for your personal objectives is a good place to start, according to Dr. Jeremy. He emphasized, "You also want a quality resistance program."

He recommended beginning with something you enjoy and preventing injuries while doing it to help you stay consistent with your resistance training program. He stated that by using the straightforward, albeit not easy, strategies, you may enhance the quality of your life and increase its quantity.
