process, but you can halt the loss of lean muscle mass by regularly lifting

weights.

muscle each year starting at

levels, such muscle loss also can lead to a gradual decrease in bone density

and a lowered metabolic

age-related muscle loss can be halted, and even reversed, with a

weight-training program.

younger.
