When Skinny Fat Is A Sign: What You Need To Know About Sarcopenia

Have you ever heard someone describe themselves as “skinny fat”?

It’s a term people use when they appear thin but still struggle with low muscle tone, fatigue, or stubborn body fat. While it may seem harmless, it can sometimes signal something more important happening inside the body.

One possible cause is sarcopenia, the gradual loss of muscle mass that often begins as we age.

The short answer is YES, sarcopenia doesn’t have to be a part of YOUR aging.

Sarcopenia is, at the bottom of it all, muscle loss that’s associated with aging. It’s a fact of life that as we age, we lose muscle mass. This is unfortunately how it goes as mere mortals, and it has to do with the build-up and tear-down processes that your muscles naturally go through. (1)  This is where targeted nutritional support may help. A key ingredient found in AgelessLX, Calcium HMB, has been studied for its role in supporting muscle health and bone strength as we age.

It’s likely you’re familiar with metabolism… your body’s ability to assimilate food into fuel. Sarcopenia touches on other “isms”: anabolism and catabolism. These are the body’s natural processes for muscle build-up and muscle breakdown, and they can become less balanced as we age. Anabolism, as you might expect if you’ve heard of anabolic steroids, is the process of build-up. Catabolism, like a cataclysmic event, is the break-down.

What exactly happens with Sarcopenia? It is oversimplifying things to blame it solely on the body’s ability to break down muscle by overriding its ability to build muscle.

This is one of the reasons AgelessLX was developed. In addition to supporting muscle health, its ingredients are designed to support vitality, endurance, and overall well-being as women age.

As we age, a host of factors come into play, including hormone changes and revised dietary needs. Even our propensity to be more sedentary can start that snowball effect.

As the saying goes, bodies in motion tend to stay in motion, while bodies at rest may gradually lose strength and mobility.

Diet

Eat as well as you possibly can. Focus on high-quality sources of protein, such as wild salmon, eggs, quinoa, legumes, and nuts. Look for cleaner sources of protein and try to limit highly processed or salty meats. Sorry, salami. Not today. (4) 

Eat lots of nutritious, whole fruits and veggies; think of giving your body only things it can really use. Consume natural foods it can pull lots of good stuff from. Always remember: as we age, we change. Our hormone levels, and our ability to assimilate and hold vitamins and minerals changes too. You can’t necessarily know what is changing and where. But you can assist your body as it ages by doing your best to get the good stuff in, and keep the bad stuff out.

Supplements can also play a supportive role. As we age, the body may become less efficient at utilizing certain vitamins and minerals.

AgelessLX contains ingredients such as Vitamin D, Vitamin K2, and HMB, which have been studied for their role in supporting muscle and bone health.

These not only will help to maintain the muscle you have but will also aid in building muscle! As an additional support, AgelessLX will also help protect bone, joint, brain and heart health!
