Invertire l'Invecchiamento Muscolare Dopo i 50 Anni: il Metodo per Riattivare i Mitocondri — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:01If you wake up in the morning feeling
- 0:03like your batteries are already flat,
- 0:05you struggle to climb two flights of
- 0:07stairs and you realize that your body
- 0:09responds with exasperating slowness:
- 0:11you've been lied to. They told you that
- 0:15it's old age and that it's normal to
- 0:17feel tired after 50-60 years and that
- 0:19the only thing you can do is resign
- 0:21yourself to it. No, no, it's not normal
- 0:24, but it's a convenient lie. The
- 0:27scientific truth is different. Muscles
- 0:29aren't old, they're just drained.
- 0:32Within the muscle fibers themselves,
- 0:34there exist small power plants which
- 0:36are known as mitochondria. Their sole
- 0:38purpose is to take the oxygen and food
- 0:40you eat and transform them into energy
- 0:43and movement. Between the ages of 40
- 0:46and 70, a sedentary person loses up to
- 0:4840%of the capacity of these power
- 0:50plants. But your body's engine hasn't
- 0:53broken down. It simply has dirty spark
- 0:57plugs and half of its cylinders are
- 0:59deactivated. Today I'll show you
- 1:02exactly how to reactivate these
- 1:04powerhouses and finally feel fit and
- 1:06toned like you haven't felt in years.
- 1:10We'll do this with a biomechanical
- 1:12protocol specifically designed for
- 1:14people aged 50-60 and over. All you
- 1:17need is a few targeted minutes a day,
- 1:19without necessarily having to go to the
- 1:21gym and without using equipment. The
- 1:24typical reaction of those who lose
- 1:26strength is always the same. Either
- 1:29they start going for extremely long
- 1:31walks that require minimal effort or,
- 1:33conversely, they sign up for a gym,
- 1:36start lifting excessive weights and end
- 1:38up locking their back after just three
- 1:40days. Both of these approaches fail,
- 1:44but the problem is neither that of
- 1:45walking nor that of lifting weights. In
- 1:49fact, walking is great for the
- 1:51cardiovascular system, but it doesn't
- 1:53generate enough biomechanical tension
- 1:56to create mitochondrial biogenesis, or
- 1:59the formation of new mitochondria
- 2:01inside your muscle bands. On the other
- 2:05hand, weightlifting is also absolutely
- 2:08healthy and brings tangible results,
- 2:10but for a person who has never done
- 2:12anything, those extra pounds can
- 2:14jeopardize the joints and cartilage
- 2:17health. Today, the science of longevity
- 2:20shows us a different path: the
- 2:23selective recruitment of fast-twitch
- 2:25fibers through low-impact isometrics
- 2:28and controlled muscle contractions.
- 2:31What does this phrase mean in practical
- 2:33terms? I'll show you right away with
- 2:35some practical exercises that you can
- 2:37put into practice today. This landmark
- 2:41clinical study published in Cell
- 2:43Metabolism has demonstrated how
- 2:46low-impact isometric exercises are
- 2:48capable of reversing the decline of
- 2:50muscle mass in people over 65 and
- 2:53bringing them back to the levels of
- 2:55younger people. In my daily work at
- 2:59Almafisio with real patients, we always
- 3:01apply a specific protocol of controlled
- 3:03mechanical tension. When you activate a
- 3:07muscle without moving the entire body,
- 3:10and thus through a sustained position,
- 3:12you recruit all the muscle fibers,
- 3:14including the fast-twitch ones, while
- 3:17at the same time safeguarding 100%of
- 3:19your tendons, your joints, and your
- 3:21delicate cartilage. That's why many
- 3:25personal trainers in the gym don't know
- 3:27this approach. Here's the exact
- 3:30sequence of the three main global
- 3:32exercises that I have all my patients
- 3:34do after a certain age and that you can
- 3:36do in your living room today. The first
- 3:39is the isometric chair. Stand behind a
- 3:43chair and place both hands on the back.
- 3:46Slowly lean back as if you were going
- 3:49to sit on another chair behind you.
- 3:52Bend down until your butt almost
- 3:54touches the seat of the chair and stay
- 3:57in this position for at least 30 to 45
- 4:00seconds. Hold this position with your
- 4:03knees and then slowly lift your heels
- 4:05off the floor, placing your weight on
- 4:07your toes. Stay like this and breathe
- 4:10deeply through your nose. You'll see
- 4:13that after just a few seconds, all of
- 4:15your leg muscles will start to feel
- 4:17tired. You might feel your legs shaking
- 4:20, you might also experience some pain
- 4:22or a sense of fatigue. Don't be alarmed
- 4:25though, because you're in a static
- 4:27position, you're not moving anything,
- 4:30there are no sudden movements and
- 4:33therefore your skeletal, muscular and
- 4:36tendon structure is absolutely safe.
- 4:40With a single movement, we are
- 4:42activating the calf, thigh, and glute
- 4:44muscles, so basically all the main
- 4:47muscle groups of the legs, which are
- 4:49also those that have a greater impact
- 4:52on glucose levels and cardiovascular
- 4:54health, without putting cartilage and
- 4:56joints at risk. The second exercise is
- 5:00the plank. You can perform this either
- 5:03by lying on your stomach or
- 5:04alternatively by leaning on a table or
- 5:06desk with both hands, while keeping
- 5:08your body tilted at a 45 ° angle. If
- 5:13you do it on your stomach, rest your
- 5:15elbows on the floor, place your toes on
- 5:17your feet, and lift your body off the
- 5:19floor to form a straight line as if it
- 5:21were a parallel axis to the floor.
- 5:24Always hold this position for 30 to 45
- 5:27seconds, avoiding arching your back.
- 5:31Again, listen to how your body responds
- 5:33. Some people start to shake, others
- 5:36start to feel fatigue in all their
- 5:38muscles, and still others experience
- 5:40some back pain. But do not worry once
- 5:43again, because your back remains still
- 5:46and you are not causing any damage at
- 5:48all. Pain does not mean damage, but
- 5:51instead you are training those muscles
- 5:53that will strengthen you and improve
- 5:55your mitochondrial health. The third
- 5:58exercise, still lying on your stomach,
- 6:00either on the floor or on the bed,
- 6:02raise your arms up and push them back
- 6:04towards the ceiling, also lifting your
- 6:07feet and contracting your glutes. As
- 6:10you will immediately feel, all the
- 6:12muscles in the back of your spine
- 6:14contract, and this is the most
- 6:16effective way to retrain those postural
- 6:18muscles that will also improve your
- 6:20kyphosis, making you appear
- 6:21significantly taller and healthier than
- 6:23you are today. These three exercises
- 6:27not only have an immediate impact on
- 6:29your daily abilities, but they also
- 6:31have an impact on your longevity. Clear
- 6:35studies have shown that people who can
- 6:37lift themselves from a chair without
- 6:39the help of their hands have a longer
- 6:41life expectancy than those who need
- 6:43their hands to get up. And other
- 6:47studies have demonstrated that those
- 6:49who possess sufficient hand grip
- 6:50strength have a longer life expectancy
- 6:52compared to those who, conversely, have
- 6:54a much weaker grip. So let's move from
- 6:57science to direct practice. On the one
- 7:01hand, understanding what a person needs
- 7:03to stay healthy, and on the other,
- 7:05taking immediate action to bring that
- 7:07person real and tangible benefits. Now,
- 7:11if you want to have all the
- 7:13step-by-step instructions to do the
- 7:14first exercise, the chair exercise,
- 7:16which you can do comfortably at home
- 7:18and which trains all your legs, I have
- 7:20already made a dedicated video where I
- 7:22show you all the details to do it in
- 7:24the best way. You can find this video
- 7:27by clicking here above. However, there
- 7:29is one thing I must emphasize before
- 7:31you start this journey. Knowing what to
- 7:34do is of little use if you do not first
- 7:36measure your starting point. If you do
- 7:40not measure your state of health and
- 7:42the strength of your muscles today, you
- 7:43could continue to do exercises, or not
- 7:45do them, without knowing whether you
- 7:47are improving or getting worse. The
- 7:50tragedy, however, is that most people
- 7:53only start taking action after they
- 7:55have fallen or injured themselves. So I
- 7:58decided to do something for you. I took
- 8:01the three clearest and simplest tests
- 8:03that we do at Almafisio on all our
- 8:05patients to measure your biological and
- 8:07muscular age. I took them and put them
- 8:11all in a simple PDF that you can
- 8:13download by clicking on the link below.
- 8:16All you need is a chair, a stopwatch,
- 8:18and 2 minutes of your time. The guide
- 8:22is completely free, you can find it
- 8:24below, download it now and take the
- 8:26tests to discover your starting point
- 8:28and your biological muscle age. You can
- 8:32then begin an effective rehabilitation
- 8:34program, so that in a few weeks or
- 8:36months you can repeat the test again
- 8:37and fully enjoy all the results.
