I think I read somewhere that people typically lose 5% muscle mass a year, but that sounds very high to me, so I'm not even sure if that's true. That said, this means that weight bearing exercises would prevent this from being an issue.
Well...yes and no. I believe that while we can "stave off" muscle mass loss with proper exercise and diet, we are all still "decaying"......and as such, nothing we do will STOP the process of dying, but we can prolong it. I'm doing my part to prolong my decaying process...I'll be 45 in April...wut?
