Aging and the Importance of Exercise

As we age it becomes increasingly important to take care of ourselves.  Muscle mass decreases, balancing becomes more difficult, bone mineral density & size decreases, etc. Today I want to talk about Sarcopenia and what you can do about it.

​Taking care of your body at an early age is important since the symptoms of sarcopenia can begin as soon as 30 years old.
