Thank you for this video! I've always known that resistance training builds muscle but now that I am an old fart (66) I want to be more scientific about lifting / dieting than I was when younger..:)
Great video. You say adding protein without exercise doe not increase muscle growth, but does it prevent the loss of muscle as you age? My understanding is that people who lose a lot of muscle mass while hospitalized don't lose much, if any, when given protein supplementation. Is that correct? Does extra protein help slow the loss of muscle in older adults, even without exercise?
The study shown at 8.43 show no benefit of protein supplementation, but then you go on the say and show that increased protein intake is beneficial. How do the two co-exist ?
I must of clicked on this by mistake….I’m an older guy trying to stay healthy & keep muscle….I’m not a jr doctor or a student nurse…I’m just an older man looking to help myself in older years….
This video means very little if "comorbidities" that senior experience isn't discussed and addressing "comorbidities" impact on muscle loss. If someone is dealing with chronic illnesses every day that person will not be exercising and eating a lot of food to get needed protein,
Your video informs & inspires people all over the world, to live longer healthily... 👍👍👍 May all audience & your team be happy, healthy & wealthy... lifelong... 🙏
An Essential Amino Acid supplement should be considered for the over 50's. Taken each morning ( usually 10 - 15 grams) will help to keep Strength, energy and muscles in good shape. Then just take in quality protein meals throughout the day. 😊
@Henrik Schandorff there are a lot of vegetable proteins that are highly useful. The challenge is eating enough of them and being able to make dishes that are enjoyable.
Look up Dr Gabriel Lyon. She coined the term “muscle centric medicine”. She has clients of all dietary types. From what I remember she recommends just supplementing, especially with leucine. And every meal has to have a minimum of 30g animal (preferably) protein or I guess the equivalent of that in your diet style, in order to trigger muscle protein synthesis. That part is mentioned in this video around 4:51 and onward Animal protein is the MOST bioavailable protein source. Dr Lyon always brings up that if your choice to not eat animals is ethical, she’s all for that. If it’s because you feel plants have are more nutritious, she doesn’t agree as she will always side with the studies
Please crank it up. I can only listen with my nose to the screen. If I put it on the table and do dishes, I can't hear sht. How hard is it to make a usable video?!
As an aging man, I have done a lot of research on sarcopenia. Age-related sarcopenia, which occurs naturally, seems to be viewed as some kind of mistake that nature has made, and a problem that modern man is going to "fix". Usually, when man tries to outsmart nature, there are unintended consequences. I don't believe nature makes mistakes.
Mistake is the wrong word, but a deleterious result may fit better. Just as disease is not a "mistake" but something that can be exacerbated by poor physical condition of the disease-challenged body. I may be reading your response wrong, but it seems as if you're saying let nature take it's course. However, our present sedentary lifestyle and generally poor diet is not "natural." We were built to move, lift, walk, push, and pull. Sitting around and decaying is the mistake.
@@flashgordon6510 great response 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Strength is never a weakness. Weakness is never a strength. There can only be more positives added to a persons life when muscle tissue is preserved
The entire idea of living long enough to experience sarcopenia is a result of modern man trying to outsmart nature. Modern medicine, nutrition, technology (including clothing, shelter, heat, sanitation, etc), have all contributed to extending our lifespans far beyond what we could have expected even several hundred years ago. But, as someone pointed out to me the other day, we don’t live a lot longer; we just die much more slowly. I’m already much too old to die young, so unintended consequences don’t worry me much. Speaking as a 70-year old man, I’d much rather spend the next few years continuing to be active, strong and healthy than to spend them bent over, frail, and barely able to move. But each of us is free to make their own choice. Another point: Why is it that when people talk about “nature” or “natural”, do they always exclude humankind, the human mind and its fruits? Aren’t we and all that we do a product of “nature” just as dogs and what dogs do part of nature? Why shouldn’t we use the tools that nature gave us to make our lives more pleasant?
@@flashgordon6510 I agree. It is bothersome when detecting any kind of muscle loss. Can't be a good thing. I had physical limitations and very quickly after stopping heavy weight exercises lost some muscle. I am working my way back up to the weights I used to be able to lift and comfortably do exercises with. I have reached the middle point and there is one more set of heavier dumb bells I always used and I hope I can get back to those. I do not like muscle loss, because the implications of it will show up as a serious decline of motion and mobility when aging. There are many publications that show adults in their 60's, 70's, and 80's staying strong. It is up to us what we make of it.
@@dinosilone7613Well said throughout but your last paragraph is a great summation. We are indeed a part of nature, not just a passive, non included observer.
My husband is 62 and has sarcopenia. He started training. so specific exercises to train his glutes. and his muscle mass has decreased even further! He sleeps very badly. and therefore there is muscle breakdown but no muscle building! Men at that age also all suffer from prostate enlargement. For example, he would like to take Creatine, but is this bad for the prostate? why aren't you talking about this??? because it's related to what men who get older all have in common......just like sleep problems. For example, the prostate is part glandular tissue and part muscle tissue, namely... can you explain this?
Never thought it did. I was told protien repairs and maintains muscle tissue. Muscle grows when you are asleep when you produce testosterone through 3 sleep cycles. Off course the organisation who taught us may have been misinformed.

I`m 84 (NOT AN OLD FART):-))))))
I‘m 70, also an old fart 🤫🤭😋🥱
Thanks for this research and information.

Agree. There are several experts who speak about this, with Dr. David Minkoff being one of them.
@@cabolynn yes I have seen several of his videos and got a lot of information from him.. 👌
How many grams of leucine ?
No mention of statins.
I take ENSURE .............PROTEIN VIT D plus lots more (YUMMY TOO )
What type of protein powder can one use. Which one's are good. is Cachava plant base protein powder good. Thanks
Body fortress is good
@@falconone7230 ok thanka
It depends - are you vegan? Dairy intolerant?
Whey and casein are both complete proteins.
what if you don't eat animals....what is a good protein choice? tks
Eggs and fish.
Eggs are by far and away the best source and the most economical.
@Henrik Schandorff there are a lot of vegetable proteins that are highly useful. The challenge is eating enough of them and being able to make dishes that are enjoyable.
@Henrik Schandorff Yes. Meat is the best source of complete protein.
Legumes? Beans? Idk I like meat

@@johnmacdonald3282 The last line cracked me up :))
Look at a vegan , they are very weak looking , not much muscle at all.
