## Resource

#MuscleLoss #Longevity #HealthyAging #Sarcopenia #Metabolism Muscle loss after age 40 is one of the most overlooked health risks of aging. Most people think aging is about wrinkles or gray hair — but one of the biggest biological changes happening inside the body is the gradual loss of muscle mass and strength. This condition, known as sarcopenia, can slow metabolism, increase fat gain, reduce strength, and raise the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In this video, Dr. Mohammed Paika (Board-Certified in Internal Medicine & Obesity Medicine) explains why muscle loss accelerates after 40, how it affects metabolism and longevity, and what you can do to preserve muscle and stay strong as you age. Protecting muscle is one of the most important strategies for healthy aging, metabolic health, and long-term independence.
