Living Longer, Living StrongerAs time passes, it's become increasingly clear that glutathione and cysteine levels not only fall as we age, but the levels of these two critical substances are directly related to how well we fare as an older person. Studies have not only focussed on physical health, but also quality of life, mental functioning and sense of well-being.
Dr. Wulf Droge has for many years advocated taking advantage of this strategy. His research goes back several decades and has set the foundation for many other researchers to build upon. One such study has just recently been published in January 2008. (Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care. 2008 Jan;11(1):40-4).
Australians A. Hayes and PJ Cribb have suggested that we approach strength and muscle mass in aging the same way as we approach an RSP (retirement savings plan). The more we pay attention to investing in our bodies at an earlier age, the higher the payoff when we're older.
In their words, when discussing whey protein isolate, “particularly in elderly people, simple strategies … that may improve the maintenance of skeletal muscle mass will likely result in a decrease in the overall burden of a number of diseases and improve the quality of life as we age.”Nice to be constantly reassured that we are doing the right thing!
