Advancing adult age is associated with profound changes in body composition, the principal component of which is decrease in skeletal muscle mass. This age related loss in skeletal muscle mass has been referred to as Sarcopenia. Cross sectional studies on muscle strength indicated that isometric and concentric strength levels peak between 2 nd and 3 rd decade of life, remain unchanged until the 4 th and 5 th decade and start to decline from about 5 th decade at a rate of 12 to15 per cent per decade. However, concentric strength levels in women tend to peak sooner, start to decline earlier and decrease at a slightly slower rate than men. Age and inactivity induced sarcopenia explain losses in strength with age. Sarcopenia is not the result of a disease and it is seen in all aged adults. Sarcopenia markedly increases the risk of disability and loss of functional capacity in the elderly. As populations in developed countries continue to age, diagnosing, treating, and preventing sarcopenia will be progressively more important to the health and well-being of modern societies.

Aloe vera is a wonder plant with health benefits so myriad and astounding that hardly any part of human body remains uninfluenced by its healing touch. It acts as a natural fighter against all sorts of infection, an efficient anti oxidant, helps in treating all digestion related problems, heartburn, arthritis, stress, diabetes, rheumatism pain, asthma, cancer and AIDS. It also acts as a laxative, beauty enhancer and it has an effect on lowering blood sugar levels in diabetics. Aloe vera is the oldest medicinal plant ever known and the most applied medicinal plant worldwide. Extracts of Aloe vera is a proven skin healer. Aloe vera help to soothe skin injuries affected by burning, skin irritations, cuts and insect bites and its bactericidal properties relieve itching and skin swellings. Aloe is a powerful detoxifier, antiseptic and tonic for the nervous system. It also has immune-boosting and anti-viral properties. Aloe vera is a useful source of vitamins. Aloe vera gel contains a large range of vitamins - even vitamin B12, Vitamin A, contains B-Group vitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and folic acid. Aloe vera gel contains important ingredients including 19 of the 20 amino acids needed by the human body and seven of the eight essential ones that just cannot be made. Commercially, aloe can be found in pills, sprays, ointments, lotions, liquids, drinks, jellies and creams, to name a few of the thousands of products available.Keywords
