Popeye and Bluto cartoon characters

Do you remember Popeye and Bluto (cartoon characters)?  I read an interesting study on Science Daily website that I want to share with you.  It’s title is “At 75, would Popeye still be able to take on Bluto?”  This study looks at our muscles and independence as we age.  They found that “women who maintained better muscle quality (the ratio of strength to muscle mass) also had better functional reserves, which help people maintain independence.”  This finding applied to men also.  So…I guess this means I had better get myself back to the gym.  This study can be found at http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/08/130812170211.htm
