Sarcopenia is the loss of muscle mass specifically related to aging. It’s normal to lose some muscle mass as you age. However, sarcopenia describes severe muscle loss that strays from the norm. Sarcopenia affects your gait, your balance and your overall ability to perform daily tasks. For too long, researchers have believed that this deterioration in muscle was inevitable. But they’re now beginning to look into treatments that might prevent or slow down this process.

Symptoms

People with sarcopenia often experience weakness and lose stamina. This can affect their ability to carry out even the simplest of physical activities like walking or sitting. This reduction in activity then leads to further muscle mass loss and instability.

Causes

A common cause of sarcopenia is decreased physical activity throughout the day. However, although less frequent, some people with active lifestyles may also be diagnosed with sarcopenia, this suggests that there could be other reasons for the development of the disease.

 Researchers currently believe that other causes of sarcopenia could include:

·     a reduction in the nerve cells that send signals from your brain to tell your muscles to move

·     a lowering of your hormone levels

·     a decline in your body’s ability to convert protein to energy, remember this is one of the roles of NAD

·     not consuming enough daily calories and protein in order to maintain your muscle mass

Treatment - Exercise

The main treatment path for sarcopenia is exercise. Researchers have identified resistance training as the specific form of exercise that is most beneficial to people with sarcopenia. This training is designed to improve muscle strength and stamina and uses resistance bands or weights.

 Resistance training can also help balance your hormone levels.

It has been shown to improve our ability to turn protein into energy. These changes have in some cases been seen in only two weeks.

 The right intensity and frequency of exercise is vital, so you achieve the best results, without causing injury.

So, spending 45 minutes at the gym, but only training for 25 won’t cut it; trust me you’re only kidding yourself .

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

HRT can help to raise lean body mass, decrease abdominal fat, and prevent bone loss in women whose hormone levels have decreased during the menopause. However, the use of HRT is debatable, mainly because of an increased risk of some cancers and other severe health conditions.

Other Treatments

Some other treatments that are under investigation include:

·     growth hormone supplements

·     testosterone supplements

·     Vitamin D, remember to supplement with Vitamin K2 also to ensure the calcium goes to your bones and teeth and not into your soft tissues

·     medications for the treatment of metabolic syndromes

If these prove useful, they should be used in conjunction with resistance training, not in place of it.

Prevention

Lack of activity is the most common reason behind this condition. Just half an hour of moderate exercise each day, like jogging or even walking, will help keep your system working and fit. In order for exercise to be effective, proper nutrition is also important. 

Research has shown that consuming more protein may help older adults reduce their chance of sarcopenia

Supplements

Supplements have also proven useful in the prevention of sarcopenia. Some include:

·      Creatine, for increasing and maintaining muscle mass (I take)

·      Vitamin D, for maintaining bone and muscle tissues (I take)

·      Protein, to help preserve body mass (don’t take)

As before these should be used in addition to exercise and not instead of it.

Associated conditions

Sarcopenia has been linked to metabolic problems like:

·     type 2 diabetes

·     high blood pressure

·     Obesity

 These three conditions are a type of gateway, which put you at greater risk of the developing coronary heart disease, stroke and other conditions that affect the blood vessels.
