7. Conclusion
1. One of the most important functions of muscles in metabolic health is
their ability to store glucose (carbohydrates) as glycogen.
2. They then use this stored glycogen as fuel and help us to boost our
energy level.
3. Moving on from the metabolic advantages of having a healthy
amount of muscle mass, strong muscles also help to preserve and
maintain healthy bone density which is very important for preventing
osteoporosis.
