Elderly Muscle Rejuvenation is Possible, Likely to Help Flu Immunity

New research shows that elderly strength training at the rate of 20 minutes, three times per week can go along way to prevent muscle breakdown and restore circulation to muscles. This is especially important in the current flu season, as muscles are your primary reserves of protein that your immune system needs to build antibodies if you have to fight an infection.

Calcium is Required for Energy Production

Most people think about calcium in terms of its vital role in bone building. However, the flow of calcium in and out of all cells is vital to cellular function. A new study shows that if calcium signaling is lacking then cell energy systems break down and the cells start eating themselves. This discovery is of fundamental importance as a break down in the calcium signaling system is now shown to be a key player in the risk for developing nerve degeneration, cancer, and cardiovascular disease.

Whey Protein Activates Muscle Repair Following Exercise

Researchers have demonstrated that 25 grams of whey protein following resistance exercise maximally stimulates the gene signaling system that enhances muscle rejuvenation. They demonstrated in humans that whey protein activates the exact same gene signaling system (mTOR) that is responsible for the longevity benefits of branched-chain amino acids recently demonstrated in mice (Branched-Chain Amino Acids Extend Lifespan in Mice).
