Boosts metabolism
Building more muscle can boost metabolism and help us maintain a healthy weight. Muscles are one of the body's most active metabolic tissues, which are important for healthy aging and longevity.
The more muscle mass we have, the more calories we burn at rest. Maintaining a healthy weight is also very important to increase life expectancy.
Healthy aging
As we age, muscle mass and strength naturally decrease. This is called atrophy, a condition that can lead to falls, broken bones and muscle weakness, negatively affecting daily activities.
Therefore, building and maintaining muscle mass will help us maintain an active, flexible and independent life for many years.
Reduces the risk of chronic diseases
Maintaining muscle through strength-enhancing activities helps reduce the risk of death, cardiovascular disease, certain cancers and diabetes.
Support the whole body
Maintaining muscle mass not only helps the body function effectively but also supports many other important systems such as the immune system, skeletal system, mental health and digestive health.
As we age, these systems, especially the immune system, often weaken, making us more susceptible to disease and infection. Exercise, especially muscle-strengthening activities, not only helps protect and develop muscles but also contributes to improving immune function, keeping the body healthier from the effects of old age.
