Ep. 241: Muscle – The World’s Perfect Motor


Listen Later

Dr. Roy Meals is an orthopedic surgeon who is an expert in the musculoskeletal system.  As such, he has dubbed muscles “The World’s Perfect Motor”.  Cardiac muscle is designed to contract 70 times a minute for 100 years.  The more you stress skeletal muscle, the stronger it gets.  Muscles can be powered by spinach, oatmeal, or any other food.  A regular motor requires specific fuel.  If you aren’t excited about that by that, then we have plenty of other stuff to talk about, including Chess Boxing, Bro Science, and why dark meat is dark.
