Abby's Magazine - Volume 5 Issue 1| Page 53 to youthful vigor given the right mix of biochemical signals. This provides promising new targets for forestalling the debilitating muscle atrophy that accompanies aging, and perhaps other tissue degenerative disorders as well." It should come as no surprise that this study was done in order to eventually be able to formulate a pill to stop muscle atrophy in its tracks. But by now you probably know as well as I do that such a drug is virtually guaranteed to cause more problems than it would solve. The fact is, most people would never need such a drug. If you are at all able to move, you can do much to prevent muscle atrophy by incorporating strength training into your healthy lifestyle routine; starting gently and working at a pace that is appropriate for your age and current level of fitness. Also keep in mind that if you are older, and have been either sedentary or immobile for some time, suddenly exercising vigorously can cause scarring and inflammation of your muscles, so start off slowly and gently! That said, I believe it's never too late to start up an exercise regimen. You just need to be sensible in your approach. Getting professional help from a properly educated personal trainer or physical therapist is probably the wisest and safest way to go if you are new to exercise, or have not exercised in the last couple of years. How to Prevent and Reverse Muscle Wasting In addition to the biochemical reactions discussed, focusing mainly on the reduced regenerative action of stem cells in aging muscle, other research has found that as you age, your body also becomes increasingly less able to use the protein in your food for building muscle. And protein is essential for healthy muscle growth and maintenance. In addition, in seniors, insulin no longer prevents the muscle breakdown between meals and overnight as it normally does in younger subjects. This double-whammy adds up to significant muscle wasting in sedentary seniors. Another important factor may be poor blood supply, as this could prevent proper delivery of nutrients and hormones to your muscles. Fortunately, exercise is the natural remedy for this problem as well. ‡ This statement has not been evaluated by the Food & Drug Administration.
