What: Eliza Barclay has a reported essay on her experience with several muscle injuries in her 40s, and discovering how common those injuries can be for women in this decade. And like so much else in women’s health, no one is really talking about it.
Key line: “I stumbled into my 40s largely ignorant of the changes to come, not just to my muscles but also to my hormone levels. We may be prepared for wrinkles and gray hair, but the decline in strength and increased risk of injury, even among very active people at this stage in life, is little recognized and far too infrequently discussed.”
