Sarcopenia is the loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength as a result of aging. It is terrible.

Let’s explore sarcopenia !

Title: "Slowly Raise Your Functional Muscles"

1. To develop the habit of being able to stand, don’t sit, and don’t lie down if you can sit !

2. After the age of 50~60, it is not possible to lose weight, especially if you do not exercise and rely on eating less to lose weight !  
Because all the muscles are lost, it is very dangerous !

3. Does running, cycling or climbing hurt the knee ?
If you have never exercised before, you can only go running, biking, or climbing when you think about it. It will hurt your knees very much !  
But if you have enough muscle strength and slowly develop the habit of running, cycling, and climbing, it is a very good exercise and it will not hurt your knees !  Whether you hurt your knee or not depends on your muscle strength !

4. If an elderly person is sick and hospitalized, don't ask him to rest more, or lie down and rest more and don't get out of bed !  
Lying down for a week loses at least 5% of muscle mass !  
And the old man's muscles can't get back !

5. Don't think that you are filial, by don't letting the elders do any housework, and scold the maid if they do it ! 
Usually, many elderly people who hire Filipino helpers lose muscle faster !

6. Don't just do a single activity every day when you go to the park. Just shake your hands when you shake your hands. You must also pull the horizontal bar or move every sports equipment ! 
Because as long as a person moves, the muscles of the whole body will be involved !  
Even many elderly people have difficulty swallowing because of insufficient exercise !  
In the end, he couldn't even cough up a mouthful of sputum and died !

7. Sarcopenia is more terrifying than osteoporosis !

Osteoporosis just needs to be careful not to fall, sarcopenia not only affects the quality of life, but also causes high blood sugar due to insufficient muscle mass !

8. The fastest loss of sarcopenia is the muscles of the legs !
Because when a person sits down or lay down, the legs are not moving and the muscle strength of the legs is particularly important !  
Don't become black feet !  
So squat at least 2 to 30 times a day. 
Squat is not squatting down, but like sitting on the toilet, you can put a chair, and stand up when your butt touches the chair !

Taiwan’s medical advancement also has health insurance, but on average, the elderly in Taiwan spend 8 years in a wheelchair until they lie in bed before they die !  
If you don't want to have eight years of old age, the quality of life is so poor ! 

Must pay attention to sarcopenia !

Climbing stairs, running, cycling, and climbing are all great exercises and can increase muscle mass !

For the quality of life for everyone in old age, Hurry Up and Move !
