The Mayo Clinic Health Letter recommends that you talk to your doctor to help you decide if the potential benefits of a product outweigh any risks. Remember, if advertising for a supplement sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Put your muscles to work. Without exercise or activity, muscle mass decreases about 1 percent per year after age 30. Strength training can help you build stronger muscles, stronger bones and control your weight, according to the May issue of Mayo Clinic Health Letter.
Strength training can benefit virtually anyone, no matter what age.
Exercising your muscles for as little as 20 to 30 minutes twice a week can improve your well-being. Talk with your doctor before beginning any exercise program. The man sitting next to you on the plane is coughing a lot. You can t help but worry. If you re at high risk, be tested every 6 months, and seek help if your test becomes positive.
