There’s a saying that goes “Growing old is not for the faint of heart.”  However, there is one condition you can prevent or at least greatly reduce the beginning of it before you even reach old age – Sarcopenia.  This may an unfamiliar word to you but all of us are at risk for it.  Sarcopenia is the involuntary, gradual loss of muscle mass and strength as we age and it affects 30% of people over the age of 60 and 50% of people age 80 and older. This condition does not distinguish between gender, ethnicity or where we live.
