By Gabe Sanders PhD, NSCA-CSCS Recent studies have revealed a significant link between resistance training, muscle strength, and improved survival rates in elderly cancer patients. This discovery opens new possibilities in patient care and offers hope for better outcomes.
Water Fasting: A Novel Approach in Cancer Therapy
By Gabe Sanders PhD, NSCA-CSCS Water fasting and fasting-mimicking diets induce a systemic and cellular response that’s particularly unfavorable for cancer cells. By altering hormone and metabolite levels, these dietary approaches create conditions that cancer cells struggle to survive in.
Skeletal Muscle; The Key to Aging Gracefully
By Gabe Sanders PhD, NSCA-CSCS Skeletal muscle is much more than a mere facilitator of movement and physical strength. It plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health, particularly as we age.
Fasting for mind, body and cellular renewal
By Gabe Sanders, PhD, NSCA-CSCS At the core of prolonged fasting lies a process known as autophagy. This cellular mechanism, akin to a biological ‘spring cleaning’, eliminates damaged organelles and misfolded proteins.
Swift Negative Effect of Detraining and Muscle Loss
By Gabe Sanders PhD, NSCA-CSCS Scaling back on training, rather than stopping altogether, leads to less pronounced losses in muscle strength and speed in weightlifting or natural body movements.
Muscle health and pregnancy
By Gabe Sanders PhD, NSCA-CSCS Regular physical activity before and during these nine months brings a lot of perks for both the mom and the baby by essentially enhancing circulating blood flow. Exercise or regular activity helps keep the heart healthy, cuts down on discomforts often linked with pregnancy, and boosts mood and energy levels.
Smashing Inflammation with Optimal Muscle Health
By Gabe Sanders PhD, NSCA-CSCS Constant inflammation not only reduces muscle quality but also interferes with the health benefits we usually get from exercising. This makes it tougher to fight the loss of muscle that comes with getting older.
The Surprising Muscle Secret You Can’t Afford to Ignore
By Gabe Sanders PhD, NSCA-CSCS The intriguing connection between our physical and mental capabilities has been studied and enhanced muscular function is linked to improved brain functions that affect our working memory and various brain responses called neuroelectric measures.
Boost your Adaptive Immunity with exercise
By Gabe Sanders PhD, NSCA-CSCS Our adaptive immunity, a crucial defense mechanism that fights off infections and diseases. Our adaptive immunity significantly changes as we grow older, impacting our overall health in ways we might not immediately recognize.
