Bonnie Tsui: 我从小在父亲的影响下，对强壮的身体和肌肉充满了积极的认知。父亲既是艺术家，也是武术家，他让我明白强壮的身体和艺术创作并不冲突，两者都是美丽的。这种观念也影响了我对肌肉的理解，我认为肌肉不仅是运动的工具，更是连接我们与世界的桥梁。在创作《On Muscle》这本书的过程中，我深入研究了肌肉的科学知识，了解到肌肉不仅是运动器官，也是内分泌组织，它会释放信号分子影响大脑，进而影响认知、情绪和行为。肌肉具有很强的适应性，会根据环境和需求的变化而改变大小和功能。肌肉的营养需求不仅仅是蛋白质，还需要足够的能量。随着年龄增长，我们需要更加关注肌肉力量的维持，以保持身心健康。力量训练并不需要复杂的器械和大量的时间，只要找到适合自己的方式并坚持下去即可。在游泳馆更衣室里，我看到了许多老年女性对自身身体的接纳和积极的态度，这让我深受感动。她们对身体的接纳和积极的态度，让我明白，我们可以以更积极的心态去面对身体的变化和衰老。 Maiken Scott: 作为访谈节目的主持人，我与Bonnie Tsui就肌肉的力量与美展开了深入的探讨。通过她的讲述，我了解到肌肉的重要性，以及在衰老过程中保持肌肉力量对身心健康的重要性。同时，我也被她对自身身体的接纳和积极的态度所感染。

As the doors of the Vatican were opening, Bonnie Tsui sprinted through the galleries to the Sistine Chapel. She wanted to experience Michelangelo's frescoes alone for 10 minutes. She laid on the floor, looked up and cried. It's just one of many stories she weaves through her new book, "On Muscle: The Stuff That Moves Us and Why it Matters." On this episode, Tsui joins host Maiken Scott for a conversation about the importance of strength, muscles and being comfortable in one's own body, especially as we age.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices)NPR Privacy Policy)
