What are the benefits of muscle to the human body?
Nowadays, muscular handsome men are popular, and many men are practicing abdominal muscles. In fact, there is a profound reason behind the popularity of muscular handsome men. Because muscles have the following three functions on the human body.
- Muscle is one of the criteria for a good figure
Simply put, it’s beautiful. Muscles make men look stronger, stronger and stronger, which is in line with traditional expectations of male strength, and with the push of popular culture, muscles have become a symbol of male beauty, especially abs.
- Improve immunity
Muscle is the largest immune system in the human body. People with less muscle mass have a lower immunity than those with strong muscles. For example, for people of the same weight, the biggest difference between a weaker physique and a stronger physique is the difference in muscle mass.
- Delay aging
Exercise makes people more energetic, forgets troubles, maintains a peaceful mood, and also makes people more confident and healthy. Muscles delay aging and prolong life in all aspects.
Kind tips:
Muscle has many benefits for the human body, but it is not recommended to eat hormones or inject hormones to achieve the purpose of increasing muscle. Universal hormones will only be harmful to health. Why do some people tend to gain muscle? Muscle growth is mainly determined by four factors:
- Genes: such as the difference between European and American races and Asian races. Europeans and Americans tend to gain muscle, especially Africans. Relatively speaking, Asians tend to gain muscle at a much slower rate.
- Gender: Muscles mainly work through male hormones, and males have more male hormones, so it is relatively easier to train muscles. Women also have androgens, but women have much less androgen than men, and women’s androgens are only one-third of men’s, which means that women have to work three times as hard to build the same muscles as men.
- Age: Adults are the most suitable age for muscle training and are not prone to injury. Children’s muscle training is mainly not to load, but to increase their height and strengthen their physique. Adults mainly focus on whole-body training, and the elderly focus on anti-aging. The goals of exercise are different for each age group.
- Nutrition: Because muscle is composed of protein, it is necessary to supplement more protein. For example, the average person needs about 1-1.5g of protein per kilogram of body weight, but if you want to build muscle, you need 1.5-2g of protein per kilogram of body weight. Therefore, in terms of recipes or supplements, a certain amount of requirements need to be met. Can protein powder build muscle? It is not fake, it is produced by regular manufacturers, certified by relevant national institutions, and has a certain brand of protein powder, which still has a certain effect on muscle growth, such as sports nutrition, protein powder, muscle building powder, creatine, Glutamine, branched-chain amino acids, these can be properly supplemented under the guidance of the coach, but cannot be over-supplemented, but exercise combined with diet is the best way to build muscle.
