Can You Outlift Aging? Science Says… YES!

A groundbreaking, one-of-a-kind study took 139 adults spanning ages 20 to 93 and asked: What are the relative effects of aging and exercise on body composition, strength, and muscle function? The results? Surprisingly uplifting! But there’s one BIG problem with aging that even exercise can't fully reverse. Does weightlifting slow aging? Can resistance training boost longevity? I’ll break down what the science says and give you practical strategies to maximize muscle function as you age. And if you stick around to the end, you’ll hear directly from the senior researcher behind this study! 🔗 References & Written Breakdown: https://staycuriousmetabolism.substack.com/p/aging-is-inevitable-weakness-is-a?r=40ekz2 🔥 Related Video – Oleuropein & Muscle Strength: https://youtu.be/ljuimrT2a1s 🔹 Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter Complex – A key protein system in mitochondria that helps shuttle calcium for energy production. Levels decline with age, potentially leading to muscle dysfunction and fatigue. See the Oleuropein & Muscles video for more insights! Vs. 🔹 Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore (MPTP) – A channel that can cause mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death under stress. Could this be a major player in age-related muscle loss?
