  Hormones for Muscle Strength and EnduranceAre you proud to have maintained a healthy weight throughout your life? Take into consideration that despite your gym time, sarcopenia or "vanishing flesh," may have been your constant companion from the time you were about 30.
When hormonal imbalance associated with aging and sarcopenia combine, the process of muscle loss accelerates, say the experts at BodyLogicMD.
"As men and women age, they begin to notice a gradual loss of muscle mass and muscle strength, as well as mobility," say Dr. Roger Garcia. "This condition, sarcopenia, even occurs in individuals who continue to exercise. We have found that bioidentical hormone therapy, combined with good nutrition and appropriate fitness programs, goes a long way in countering the disability and frailty associated with sarcopenia."
Studies noted by the experts at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri and The University of Nottingham, UK, show that through a combination of targeted physical activity, the use of safe, natural supplements and the utilization of hormonal supplementation, sarcopenia can be, to a significant degree, prevented.
This is important news when you consider that by 2030, the number of people 65 and over will climb to 70 million in the U.S. - each of whom, if left untreated, will have a potential average muscle loss of 15-20 percent before they reach 80 years old. Add to that increased life spans and scientific developments that will keep us living longer, then consider the impact if muscle loss is not addressed.
So, definitely continue to watch your waistline but be sure to monitor your muscles as well. Aging does not have to mean slowing down and doing less if you are working with your hormone therapy physician to keep your muscles from doing a vanishing act.
