You need to be building more muscle. https://t.co/5g886P5AqJ

This has been well understood for several decades, yet is ignored in vegan circles. New study finds plants “scream” when stressed or injured, raising questions about communication https://t.co/ID1KvmVxKo

@Mark_Sisson “The number one predictor of someone dying in the hospital is their strength and muscle mass.” Got a source for this, that accounts for age related depletion of muscle mass? Otherwise it might simply be old people die most often, and old people naturally have less muscle mass.

If you're losing muscle on your arms and legs, you're losing it everywhere, and that will kill you. One example: Sarcopenia (muscle wasting) increases pneumonia-related mortality. You become too weak to cough properly. https://t.co/OTu21dyJU3
