That's a great thing to do, you know?
And so muscle is what's so critical.
The fat just sits there.
It doesn't do anything metabolically.
But the muscle requires some maintenance, right?
It needs energy.
And so that's where the blood sugar is going to go and your body takes it up.
And that's what is so important and so awesome.
And it's strength.
You need strength to be functional so you don't fall as we get older.
And so muscle is critical.
And I think muscle also partners so importantly with bone health.
You know, that's a big thing that I see in my breast cancer patients, especially in those anti-estrogen medications.
I was a hospital physician for the first 10 years of my career at Mayo Clinic.
And it was nothing that broke my heart more than a breast cancer survivor that was cured of her breast cancer, 78 years old, falls and breaks her hip because she has massive osteoporosis from all those anti-estrogens she took.
So, you know, we've got to think about muscle so you don't fall, keep you strong.
When you strengthen your muscle by doing the resistance training, you keep those bones strong too.
So you get all kinds of benefits by doing those strengthening exercises to keep the muscles strong.
It's so important.
And you know, there's really amazing research that shows in individuals who took really good care of themselves their whole life, and they get this cancer diagnosis.
