New Study Suggests Having More Muscle Slows Cognitive Decline
A new study published in “Nutrients” explored the mechanism of action behind the “muscle-brain axis” and how preserving muscle mass as we age has a direct effect on delaying cognitive decline. The study came to the conclusion that as we age, we should prioritize ensuring we eat enough calories, specifically protein, to assist our bodies in maximizing muscle. Also, older adults should be engaged in some kind of consistent structured exercise routine in order to slow, or even stop, age related muscle wasting also known as Sarcopenia.
MAC has services that address both senior nutrition and senior fitness. Our Meals on Wheels program helps seniors by providing much needed nutrition to older members of our communities that are unable to make food for themselves. We also have an on-site fitness center developed solely with the needs of seniors in mind to help them stay active, mobile and strong as they age.
