Aside from the usual suspects (cardio and weights), strength training is key to a fit and healthy body. This form of exercise can improve cardiovascular health, boost muscular strength and improve overall mental well-being. It is also an effective way to burn calories while at rest.
Strength training has been shown to be effective in combating sarcopenia, a condition which causes a gradual loss in muscle mass. Sarcopenia is directly linked to an increase in frailty and indirectly contributes to early death. The medical community has shown some enthusiasm for interventions aimed at boosting muscle mass.
Several studies have cited the need for adequate amounts of protein to support growth. In addition, a well-rounded diet incorporating foods containing essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C and potassium, is a good bet. Alternatively, animal-based diets contain deficient levels of these important compounds.
Aside from the standard diet and workout regimens, one can opt for a plant-based or vegan diet to increase physical strength. These types of diets can be particularly effective for athletes, like the Tennessee Titans defensive line. Plants contain several nutrients that are essential for muscle growth, such as magnesium, potassium and folate.
Getting your fill of protein is one of the keys to building muscle. You can supplement with a protein shake or eat protein rich foods such as nuts and legumes. Getting a good night’s sleep is a must, too. Proper nutrition and a well-balanced diet will not only improve your muscles but your overall quality of life.
