Recent studies have revealed that body mass index (BMI) is actually the poorest predictor of health, while muscle mass is a much stronger indicator of mortality and longevity.

This is because BMI only uses height and weight, meaning it cannot distinguish between fat, muscle and bone.

Muscular people or those with a larger frame may have a high BMI but be extremely healthy due to their high muscle mass.

A “normal” BMI does not guarantee good health. Some individuals with normal BMIs can still have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and/or poor metabolic health.

Muscles are VERY important. Greater muscle mass is actually linked to a longer, healthier life and a much lower risk of early death.

Muscle stores glucose and helps regulate blood sugar, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Strong muscle can improve blood circulation, blood pressure, and overall heart function.

A higher muscle-to-fat ratio can reduce inflammation throughout the body, lowering the risk of various diseases.

Ever heard of sarcopenia? It’s a big word for something that can sneak up on all of us: age-related muscle loss. Starting as early as your 30s, your body naturally begins losing muscle mass and strength unless you actively fight back. Left unchecked, sarcopenia leads to weakness, slower movement, ...

Studies reveal that sleep duration dramatically changes how your body responds to diet. In one trial, people sleeping only 5.5 hours lost 55% less fat and 60% more muscle than those who slept 8.5 hours, despite identical diets. Lack of sleep disrupts hormones like ghrelin and leptin, fueling hunger even when calories aren’t needed, while cortisol rises, signaling the body to conserve energy. At the same time, insulin resistance develops, driving calories into fat storage instead of energy or muscle repair. In short, poor sleep rewires metabolism, making the same food more likely to become fat and less likely to support muscle.
