Insulin Resistance Causes Muscle Loss, New Research Finds

Aging naturally causes muscle loss, and poor metabolic health hastens the process. Learn how to break this viscous cycling and preserve muscle as you age.

If there is no muscle, it gets converted into fat. 2:45 About 83% of American adults suffer from some sort of insulin resistance.  3:25 Insulin resistance favors muscle protein catabolism, at the expense of muscle protein synthesis.  6:18 Insulin resistance activates atrophy genes.  6:50 You become more insulin resistant and lose muscle mass as you age.  7:40 Hyperinsulinemia accelerates atherosclerosis (heart disease) and cancer.  10:58 Insulin resistance leads to a decline of mTOR activation in your muscle.  13:00 About .1% of all of your muscle tissue is turning over at any point. Progenitor stem cells are involved in the maintenance and regeneration of your muscles. 14:00 Muscle is the most active site of protein metabolic processes in the body.  14:25 You may get better gains from exercise and resistance training by being more insulin sensitive.  15:10 Background inflammation from insulin resistance can accelerate muscle atrophy.  16:00 To become more insulin sensitive…
