Álvaro Puche warns of hormonal declines and muscle loss after age 50

Personal trainer Álvaro Puche notes that individuals face a physiological turning point around age 50 due to a decline in anabolic hormones. In men, testosterone levels decrease, while women experience a drop in estrogen.

This hormonal shift can lead to a progressive loss of muscle mass, potentially resulting in sarcopenia, a condition characterized by diminished muscle strength and function. To mitigate these effects, Puche emphasizes the importance of incorporating regular strength training into physical activity routines to help maintain muscle tissue and overall functionality.
