HOW TO THRIVE AS YOU AGE

Millions of women are 'under-muscled.' These foods help build strength

 

*sarcopenia (노화로 인한) 근육감소증

*prevalence [ prévələns(i) 널리 퍼짐, 유행(commonness)

U.S. health officials have launched an awareness campaign to highlight the prevalence.

How to thrive as you age?

Loss of muscle I might have.

Tell us more about what this is exactly.

*muscle mass 근육량

It really peaks in our 30s, and then after that, you start to lose it.

This can really accelerate later in life, which can be a big deal.

*hit home 가슴에 와 닿다, (말 따위가) 급소[요점]를 찌르다, 감명시키다

This really hit home for me this summer when my mother took a bad tumble.

We don't have to use that as much anymore as we once did.

*underappreciated 인정을 덜 받는, 정당하게 평가되지 못하는, 과소평가 되는

He told me loss of muscle strength is really underappreciated.

*equation (여러 가지 요소들을 고려해야 하는) 상황[문제]

There's also another important part of the equation, too

If you don't consume enough, you can end up with deficiencies.

*endurance event 지구력 경기, 종목

Adequate protein intake in midlife, especially from plant protein, is linked to significantly higher odds of healthy aging.

So that's more validation that protein does matter.

Greek yogurt is my go-to for breakfast because it's packed with protein.

Yeah, it sounds that way.

*be steered to ~로 몰리다, 쏠리다

Young women may be steered to salads, so part of it could be cultural.

*fend off 막아내다, 피하다. (=ward off, resist, defend.)

Women certainly can continue to fend off muscle loss and stay strong.

I have swapped this for resistance training three times a week.
