Fortunately, the lifestyle seems to have a "crucial importance on maintaining optimal psycho-physical. In fact, following a balanced diet and practicing regular motor activity, allows us to maintain as much as possible the physiological protein turnover and therefore a good state of health of our locomotor system.
It is in fact scientifically proven that the whole organism can benefit both from a correct diet - adequately balanced in nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals - and from the practice of desirable physical activity. This is even more true for the musculoskeletal system, which is made up of muscles, bones (including tendons) and joints (including ligaments and cartilages).
Therefore, in this sense, how to take care of your health?
, both bone density and strength.
The other example without any other indication is that of people bedridden due to illness. These, unable to move, gradually tend to lose lean mass and body weight; this depends both on the nutritional aspect and on the total absence of neuro-muscular work.
These circumstances are obviously worsened by the presence of other risk factors, such as, for example, malabsorption, pathologies and, nevertheless, advanced age.
In fact, the aging process reduces, among other functions, the intestinal absorption capacity and this facilitates the onset of what is called anabolic resistance (lower synthesis capacity, for example of proteins, therefore greater difficulty in increasing the tissues , even in the normal "turnover").
The application of a bio-mechanical stimulus to the musculoskeletal system is therefore essential for its maintenance, as:
- The mechanical stress of the tendons on the bone tissue and the repeated vibrations allow the skeleton to maintain density and compactness;
- Increasing the range of motion (ROM) of the joints, or in any case working in its entirety, keeps the capsules lubricated and less prone to decline;
- Stimulating the muscle to express force determines a stimulus for trophic growth and opposes sarcopenia (pathological condition of loss of muscle mass and strength);
- Refinement of agility (coordination, dexterity, etc.) and reflexes help prevent accidental falls and bone fractures - the primary cause of serious complications in the elderly.
Let us now try to better understand how to manage physical activity in a way that is useful for maintaining the health of muscles, bones and joints.
