Get a Grip With Fish

With age,muscle mass decreases and strength fades. Staying active and doing resistance exercises can help you maintain muscle and build strength. Diet also can help. Proteins are very important for maintaining muscle. Its been found that eating fatty fish can influence strength,specifically grip strength in older adults. A survey was taken for the grip strength of men and women in ages of 59 to 73. They found that while several foods like fruits,vegetables and cereals were positively linked with greater grip strength,fatty fish had the strongest association by far. Among women, each serving of fatty fish was linked to a one pound increase in grip strength. For men and women combined,eating fatty fish more than once a week was linked to a grip strength of 3 and half pounds more than those who ate no fish.
