Muscle helps manage blood sugar

High-carb diets combined with sedentary lifestyles created an epidemic of diabesity (obesity and diabetes). About two-thirds of the population is overweight or obese, and prediabetic or diabetic.

Obesity and diabetes aren’t always paired together, however. About 20 per cent of those with diabetes or prediabetes are at a healthy weight.

Muscle builds strength and stamina

During your first few months of a weight-training program, you gain strength without much of an increase in muscle tissue. In this adaptation phase, your nervous and muscular systems get better at using the muscle you already have, even when you don’t have much.

You gain considerable strength without building any muscle. Then, after you’ve pushed your strength limits with your existing muscle, you start to build more muscle.

Muscle supports your joints

One of the primary reasons people avoid weight training is joint pain. Ironically, the reason many of those people have pain is that they don’t weight train. The better route is this: Figure out how you can weight train in a way that doesn’t make your joint pain worse. Eventually, weight training will alleviate your joint pain.

Building muscle builds bone, too

Physical tension or resistance stimulates the growth of muscle mass and bone density. After experiencing the stimulus, your body uses amino acids to build and repair muscle (along with other micronutrients) and uses protein, calcium, magnesium, Vitamins D & K to build bone. 

Muscle helps you control body fat

Muscle burns about three times as many calories per pound as body fat does. So, as you drop body fat and add muscle, your scale weight might not change, but you’ll create a significant shift in how you look while also increasing your resting metabolic rate.

Muscle may change your emotional state

When you feel sad or depressed, you may unconsciously slouch, drop your head down, and turn your arms in. When you feel an emotion, you take on the posture of that emotion.

Research shows it works in reverse as well: When you take on the posture of that emotion, you begin to feel that emotion. 

Muscle makes you more self-confident

Physical accomplishments can supercharge people’s self-confidence in ways that help them achieve many other things in their personal lives and career.
