 Maintaining muscle mass is easier when young. Scientists believe they have found a way to enable the elderly to maintain muscle.
Muscle is constantly being built and broken down, which works to maintain a balance in young adults. But as people age, the breakdown process is more successful than the muscle-building action. However French

Leucine is found in meat, soy beans and legumes, among other foods.
