The loss of muscle mass, strength and motor control that we experience as we age is called sarcopenia; it generally becomes noticeable in our early forties and increases with age. If sarcopenia is left untreated we steadily lose control of our physical abilities. Weight training, when applied intelligently, is the natural inhibitor of this condition. Dependent upon the severity and our age, we can slow down or even reverse sarcopenia by simply weight-training.

Learning to live amid plenty is now the challenge for many while learning to live with scarcity is no longer the problem. For example, it’s astounding that too little food and too much food can frequently have the same dire results. The modern challenge is in knowing when enough is enough and to consider others just a bit more and perhaps, ourselves… just a bit less.

Dr. Mehmet Oz is a legitimate cardiothoracic surgeon, who just happens to host an eponymous television show that’s filled with various products, procedures, ideas and advice. He admittedly does not use the vast majority of products, procedures, ideas and advice discussed on his show. I strongly recommend that you do the same.

There are many mistaken notions concerning lactic acid and exercise. The greatest, by far, is the idea that there is lactic acid in the human body – there is no lactic acid in the human body, NONE.
Most of us believe “lactic acid” is an end product of exercising hard and that it causes local muscle fatigue and muscle failure (a burning sensation by increasing the acidity of the tissues to the point where they can no longer function effectively). This is simply not true, what we are feeling are pain (nerve) receptors sensing a chemical breakdown of energy production that is reaching its physiological limit, it’s not lactic acid.
I find it interesting that so called “professionals or experts” still bandy this term around as well.

Gradually, many of us tend to fall asleep at the wheel; sometimes the wheel release is volitional, and sometimes it’s so imperceptible we don’t even realize when it took place.
We gain weight, we drink more, we stop learning or we allow our affairs to fall into disrepair for example.
Letting our bodies and/or minds go into a slow fade is not acceptable; we all have people who depend on us to be our best, we owe it to them, as well as ourselves, to find the motivation to get our hands back on the wheel, to regain control and to reverse this process.
