    Comparing Mushroom and Animal Protein for Muscle Building

    Comparing Mushroom and Animal Protein for Muscle Building

    by

    Scientists have reported that protein derived from mushrooms (mycoprotein) has a similar impact on muscle mass and strength as animal-based protein in young, healthy people undergoing resistance training [1]. Choosing between animal and non-animal sources Proteins are essential for muscle building, and strong muscles are important for healthy aging. However, this does not mean that […] More

    Sleep bruxism reflects masticatory muscle behavior tied to health deterioration not mortality

    by

    Sleep bruxism reflects masticatory muscle behavior detrimental to health, but not tied to mortality suggests new study published in the Journal of Oral Rehabilitation The association of sleep bruxism with mortality has not been studied previously. This is the first study to examine the relationship between sleep bruxism and mortality. The association between sleep bruxism […] More

    Study shows moderate exercise to be safe for people with muscle pain from statins

    by

    Statins have long been the gold standard for lowering LDL or “bad” cholesterol and preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD) events, but while generally well-tolerated, they can cause muscle pain and weakness in some. Statin therapy does not exacerbate muscle injury, pain or fatigue in people engaging in moderate-intensity exercise, such as walking, according to a study […] More

    Moderate exercise safe for people with muscle pain from statins

    by

    Statin therapy does not exacerbate muscle injury, pain or fatigue in people engaging in moderate-intensity exercise, such as walking, according to a study published today in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The findings are reassuring for people who experience muscle pain or fatigue from statins but need to engage in physical activity […] More

    Promoting Muscle Regeneration With an Immune Factor

    by

    A paper published today in Nature Aging has shown that a macrophage-regulating factor has a significant impact on muscle regeneration. Healing slows with aging The researchers note two key reasons for the decline of regenerative abilities with aging. The first is stem cell exhaustion, the gradual depletion of stem cells and ensuing lack of functional […] More
