Mayo Clinic Minute: Staying vital as you age

Dr. Amanika Kumar says frailty also may be coupled with muscle loss, which is called sarcopenia.

Dr. Kumar says the best medicine is to keep moving.

You don't have to run a marathon or power lift. Just stay active. Walk 30 minutes a day or get out in the garden. Do activities you enjoy.
