And so generally, all these diets, whether it's paleo, whether it's Mediterranean, or whatever it is, support the intake of fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds in their whole form." – Betty Murray   "One of the greatest risks for all-cause mortality and early mortality, and particularly mortality after a fracture, is the lack of muscle mass. Not just bone mass, but muscle mass. So, if we were to look at one of the most important longevity strategies a woman can do, muscle mass is important." – Betty Murray Links Mentioned: FREE E-Book: https://sleep.hormoneshelp.com/ FREE Quiz: https://quiz.hormoneshelp.com/ Connect with Betty Murray: Living Well Dallas Website: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ Hormone Reset Website: https://hormonereset.net/ Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bettymurray_phd/
