We recently attended an interesting webinar that was about muscles in the body and it seemed relevant to the BioMat.
The speaker was very knowledgeable about the topic of muscles and specifically how gaining muscle mass is important and vital to our overall health. And the good news is working our bodies to gain muscles is one of the body’s best 401K plans with no expiration for building muscle! This investment/work out of the body wards off disability, disease and early death. In other words, muscle mass is medicine.
Muscles make up approximately 40% of our body’s overall weight and is the largest organ for mass and weight. The other interesting statistic that she gave was how we lose muscle during our lifetime, starting at age 30:
- 5% loss from age 30 to 40
- 8% loss from age 40 to 50, and
- 30% loss from age 50 to 70.
The presenter’s stats didn’t go beyond age 70 but this is quite shocking, isn’t it?!
While fat is pro-inflammation; muscles are anti-inflammation. How does this relate to the BioMat? The BioMat is an anti-inflammation healing tool; as you use it, you are ridding inflammation and perhaps this helps build or at least, retain muscle mass.
A couple other interesting thoughts about muscles:
- Eating protein is the best nutrient for muscles.
- Body composition and muscle strength are more important than our weight (the number on the scale).
- Muscles talk to our brain and entire body – they are “hope molecules.”
- When we have strong muscles, this contributes to having strong bones and joints.
Now, let’s relate all of the above information to the Richway BioMat. If you decide to work out, specifically to build muscle mass, the BioMat can be a friend of support, recuperation and restoration.
