Show Notes:

01:00 There are cellular changes within adipose tissue and skeletal muscle linked with aging.

01:47 As fat cells get older, they hold fat more tightly.

01:55 There is infiltration of immune cells within fat tissue.

02:35 Mitochondrial function decreases with aging.

03:00 Exercise purges senescent cells.

03:50 Serum DHEA decreases with age.

04:52 Hormonal changes in aging cause fat cells to misbehave leading to metabolic derangement.

08:45 Reduced testosterone and DHEA effect post meal fat storage in men.

09:40 Your upper body is more sensitive to storing lipids after a meal but can become overfilled.

10:30 Fat tissue inflammation can be linked to reduced physical activity.

11:12 As you get older and stop exercising, decrease protein, your fat cells become infiltrated and enlarged.

12:25 The more body fat you have, the more proinflammatory immune cells you have within your fat tissue.

13:20 Overfilled fat cells cause muscle cells to onboard more fat.

14:00 Physical training has a huge impact on preserving muscle protein synthesis.

15:50 Exercised muscles become more sensitive to nutrients.

16:30 Increase your protein intake as you get older.

17:30 Protein intake should be between 1.2 and 1.5. Grams per kilo of ideal bodyweight per day.

18:10 Fast twitch muscle fibers are preferentially lost with aging.
