I read a statistic that when you turn 60, you lose 1% of your muscle mass PER YEAR. And it might have been earlier than that. Well, I turned 60 in December. And my blood pressure has been creeping up of late. I decided I really need to do something about this. A lot of my BP issue is living at high altitude, one of the characteristic body changes thereof. My wife took up working with free weights a few months ago and restricting her calories, using the Noom app, and she's lost 30 lbs and her BP has gone down. I'm not yet at the point of wanting to restrict my calories like that to lose weight further, we'll see what happens in another couple of months.
