Is Muscle the Key to Anti-aging?

I know this is not a great source, but it's another reminder that researchers believe there is a causal link between muscle mass and longevity and quality of life.

Thanks for posting. Sometimes when I don't feel like lifting (fortunately, it's not often) I remind myself of this. The base I'm building now will - hopefully - ensure that I never have to say "I've fallen and I can't get up." It's a sad reality for so many seniors that they truly be one incapable of pulling up their own body weight. I appreciate the reminder!
