It’s really easy to think of yourself as healthy and invincible when you’re young, but make no mistake: age will catch up with you, just as it catches up with everyone.

Remember: your muscles will start to plateau in strength sometime in your 30s, potentially leading to you becoming less active. It’s likely you won’t notice a thing early on unless you’re already keeping fit and/or tracking your weight and body composition.

Being aware of your body fat percentage and tracking it over time is a good way to determine if your body composition is declining.  If you’ve noticed that your weight hasn’t changed much over the last couple of years but your body fat percentage has increased, that’s a red flag indicating aging-related muscle loss is occurring.

Invest in your muscles while you are young and one day they will take care of you!
