Why is lean body mass important?

Lean body mass is metabolically active tissue that burns calories even at rest. Higher lean mass typically means higher metabolic rate, better insulin sensitivity, and improved overall health markers.

How can I increase lean body mass?

Increase lean mass through resistance training, adequate protein intake (0.8-1.2g per kg body weight), progressive overload in workouts, and sufficient recovery time between training sessions.
