Dr. Mark Hyman: 本期节目探讨了力量训练对长寿和对抗慢性疾病的关键作用。随着年龄增长,肌肉质量会下降,而肌肉是长寿的关键。力量训练不仅能帮助人们保持健康的外形,更重要的是能建立强大的健康基础,预防糖尿病、心脏病、老年痴呆症等多种疾病。力量训练能改善代谢健康,增强心理健康,帮助人们优雅地衰老,并拥有在老年时依然能够从事各种活动的能力。 力量训练之所以重要,是因为我们正面临代谢健康危机。大多数美国人都存在代谢功能障碍,患有慢性疾病的人数众多。代谢功能障碍是肥胖、2型糖尿病、阿尔茨海默病、脂肪肝、肾脏疾病和早逝的根本原因。代谢功能障碍会导致肌肉中脂肪堆积,出现胰岛素抵抗,这是所有与年龄相关的疾病和衰老的最大驱动因素。 力量训练能够通过增加瘦肌肉质量来改善代谢健康。肌肉是一种代谢器官,分泌肌细胞因子,调节炎症,平衡激素,支持排毒系统,改善血液循环和心理健康。肌细胞因子在老年人中尤其有效,因为随着年龄增长,肌细胞因子会减少。 力量训练有益于大脑健康,可以改善认知功能和记忆力。它可以增加脑源性神经营养因子(BDNF),促进神经可塑性和神经发生。力量训练还可以减少促炎细胞因子的表达,增强淀粉样蛋白斑块的清除。研究表明,力量训练对青少年和大学生的认知和学习成绩也有积极影响。 力量训练具有抗抑郁作用,其效果可能优于咨询或药物治疗。研究表明,力量训练可以改善自尊、个人成长、社交联系和自主性。力量训练有益于心脏健康,可以降低全因死亡率和心血管死亡率。它可以降低患糖尿病的风险,改善甘油三酯和胆固醇水平。 力量训练可以改善性激素水平,对男性和女性都有益。对于男性,力量训练可以提高睾酮水平,改善性欲和性功能。对于女性,力量训练可以刺激睾酮和雌激素的释放,改善胰岛素敏感性,帮助解决多囊卵巢综合征等问题。 力量训练可以增强免疫功能,提高身体抵抗感染的能力。它可以减少全身炎症,改善各种免疫细胞的功能,提高抗氧化酶的产量,降低氧化应激水平,保护细胞和线粒体。 力量训练并不需要像健美运动员那样举重,即使是轻重量的训练,只要达到肌肉疲劳,也能获得益处。为了维持现有的力量,每周一次的力量训练就足够了;为了增加力量和肌肉大小,每周三到四次的力量训练是有效的。除了力量训练,饮食也对肌肉生长至关重要,需要摄入足够的蛋白质。如果时间有限,可以尝试“运动零食”——短时间高强度的运动。
