Over the last two weeks, we’ve explored how muscle quality and quantity impact disease resistance and survival.
- In our first email, we uncovered how myosteatosis (fat infiltration in muscle) can lead to metabolic dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, and decreased physical function.
- In our last email, we built on that idea, revealing that muscle isn’t just for strength—it’s a shield against disease. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon shared that individuals with higher muscle mass have better survival rates for chronic illnesses, including cancer.
