New Studies on Muscles 💪

Muscles act like a communication organ. Every time you move, muscles release tiny messengers (called myokines) that help control blood sugar, inflammation, energy levels, brain health, and metabolism. ✅

When we age and move less, those messages slow down. Turtle 🐢

🧑‍🔬 According to research led by Bente Klarlund Pedersen, the scientist who first described muscle as an endocrine organ, less movement means fewer helpful signals. The result? Easier weight gain, more inflammation, lower energy, weaker muscles and bones, and faster aging overall.

💪 This is why muscle loss isn’t just about strength. It’s about the body going a little… quiet.

📢 The good news?

Even walking, light resistance, or short daily movement moments can turn the signal back on.

✨ Aging doesn’t shut muscles down. Not using them does. 🏋️🧗🚴⛹️
