SARCOPENIA - Also known as the gradual loss of muscle mass, is a known consequence of aging


SARCOPENIA - Also known as the gradual loss of muscle mass, is a known consequence of aging, and poses a significant risk factor for disability in older adults. Stuart M. Phillips, from McMaster University in Canada, enrolled 45 men, with an average age  of 59 years, in a study that found that eating a six-ounce (170 g) serving of 85% lean ground beef resulted in a significant increase in the rate of muscle protein synthesis following exercise.

This determination is double the current recommended serving sizes of meat in Canada. The authors propose that: "Ingestion of 170 g of beef protein is required to stimulate a rise in myofibrillar [muscle protein synthesis] over and above that seen with lower doses." Of course, most athletes will tell you that consuming red meat keeps their muscle mass high. However, some competitive bodybuilders and athletes are vegan, thus proving that red meat is NOT a necessary requirement for muscle mass.
