Musculação e longevidade | DrauzioCast

Only regular exercise can slow down and even reverse sarcopenia, the gradual loss of muscle mass that begins around age 30. But this habit goes far beyond aesthetics: it directly impacts disease prevention, maintaining functional independence, and longevity. In this episode of DrauzioCast, Drauzio Varella, singer Zélia Duncan, and physiotherapist Raquel Castanharo demystify common beliefs about weight training and show how the practice can be incorporated into routines at different stages of adult life.
