Between our 20th and 70th birthdays, most of us lose about 30% of our muscle cells.
在我们20岁生日和70岁的生日之间,我们中大多数人丧失了大约30%的肌肉细胞。
Loss of muscle mass is the main reason metabolism slows down in the first place, since resting metabolic rate is directly related to lean body mass that's mostly muscle.
本来,肌肉数量的减少是新陈代谢减缓的主要原因。这是由于停滞的新陈代谢率与大部分为肌肉的“瘦肉组织”直接相关。
Maintaining or increasing muscle mass through strength training ups your metabolism and burns more calories, even while you're sitting on the couch!
通过体能训练来维持或增加瘦肉组织,能提高你的新陈代谢和增加更多热量消耗,甚至当你坐在沙发上时也可以做到!
