No Matter the Language, Muscle Saves Lives
with Guest Peter Lakotos
I started using the term "muscle saves lives" about a decade ago because no matter what the circumstances, the more muscle you carry and the stronger you are the better you outcomes will be. Longevity and healthspan as well. Peter Lakotos has brought this concept to the people of Hungary and his book became an instant best-seller.
