Are you concerned about losing muscle mass as you age? Or maybe you’re interested in finding ways to maintain the health of your muscles and mitochondria as you get older? If so, this video may help!
In this video, we explore a new study that investigates the potential benefits of a ketogenic diet for mitigating the age-related loss of skeletal muscle and increasing mitochondrial biogenesis in humans.
Sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass in humans as they age, can lead to frailty and poor health, but exercise is not always an option for everyone.
The decline in mitochondrial function in muscles, which happens with aging, can contribute to sarcopenia, but a KD may be able to help fix this problem.
Although the results have not been seen in elite athletes, the study suggests that a KD may be a promising strategy for mitigating age- or disease-related decline in skeletal muscle mass and function.
So if you’re interested in learning more about how a KD can improve muscle health and mitochondrial biogenesis and potentially mitigate age-related muscle loss, check out this video.
