Fasting tips

Age‑related muscle decline is real, but most of the drop-off comes from moving less, not from aging itself.

Muscle mass typically peaks in our twenties, stays fairly stable for a while, and then gradually tapers off — roughly 8% each decade. By the time someone reaches their 70s or 80s, it’s common to be sitting at only two‑thirds (or less) of the muscle they once had.

A major driver of this is something called anabolic resistance. As we get older, our muscles don’t respond as efficiently to amino acids, which are essential for triggering muscle repair and growth.

That’s why strength training becomes essential with age. Lifting weights provides the mechanical signal that tells muscle tissue to grow, and it also helps restore the muscle’s sensitivity to protein, allowing the body to use amino acids more effectively — much like it did when you were younger.

Many omega‑3 products look similar on the label, but the form they come in makes a big difference.

A large portion of fish oil supplements are produced as ethyl esters. This version is inexpensive to manufacture after purification, but it isn’t a form your body naturally encounters, and it’s not absorbed as efficiently.

The more desirable option is omega‑3s in their triglyceride form. This is the structure naturally present in whole fish, and the body tends to take it up more effectively.

Ethyl ester oils also rely heavily on dietary fat for absorption. If you take them without a meal that contains fat, the amount your body actually uses can drop significantly.

Adding a resistance band can:

Improved Lockout Strength: Traditional squats are hardest at the bottom. Adding resistance (bands or chains) at the top ensures you have to work harder at the lockout (standing up), preventing you from resting at the top and building strength in your glutes and quads.

Increased Explosive Power: By adding resistance as you rise, you are forced to accelerate through the entire range of motion, rather than slowing down. This builds speed and explosive power, which is beneficial for sports and breaking through plateaus.
Enhanced Glute and Quad Activation: As the weight becomes harder to hold at the top, the glutes and quadriceps are forced to work harder to maintain control and complete the extension.

Better Core Bracing: The added tension forces your core to work harder to stabilize your torso throughout the movement, improving overall spinal stability.

Overcoming Sticking Points: If you frequently fail at the top of the lift, this method trains you to fight through the “grind” of the final extension.

Have you tried these?

Health and wellness isn’t all about training, nutrition etc, it’s also about doing things you love - your purpose , your passions, hanging with people friends or partner. These things enrich your life and do wonders for longevity.
Keeping a balance is key. For me music is my ‘ Ikigai‘ that’s the Japanese saying for the ‘ reason for being ‘ what makes life worth living.

What’s your Ikigai ?

The grind. People ask how do you get motivation to go to gym ? My response is; think of it like brushing your teeth, it’s not optional, you have to do it. It’s an investment for the future !
