Common Myth and Fact for Preserving Muscle 

You know every thought we think is creating our future, a future to better health, better life and graceful old age. We create every so-called illness in our body by not doing physical activity. Physical Activity is the best Pill money can buy to improve health – both mental and physical. If you want to improve your health, do physical activity daily. Think of exercise as medication. Studies show that exercise can decrease the risk of depression, heart problems, diabetes and so many ailments.

We have tried to allocate some of the common Myth and Fact which generally people have in there mind

Factoid – When you lose weight without exercise, you lose both muscle and fat, but when you gain weight without exercise, you gain only fat. It’s much easier to gain fat weight, than it is to gain weight.
Dieting or fasting would seem to be the quickest way to lose fat. But for every pound you lose, 60% of muscle and only 40% is fat, so this is not a good idea for losing the weight.

This is the formula to cut down your fat without sacrificing muscle tissue:-
- Continue to eat a sufficient amount of protein (at least 1 gram of protein per pound body weight), on the days in which you are training.
- Eat low fat – about 20% of your total daily calories intake.
- Reduce carbohydrates as far as possible.
- Try to do 45 minutes of aerobic training 4 – 5 times a week followed by strength training for 2-3 days a week.
