If I could write a single prescription for every one of my patients to increase their lifespan it would be : Strength Train. Especially women over 40.
Reduce the risk of diabetes? Strength train.
Reduce the risk of heart disease? Strength train.
Reduce the risk of dementia? Strength train.
Improve sleep and mental health? Exercise.
And this one is for the ladies- women start losing bone density as early on as perimenopause & a hip fracture after 50 increases the risk of death within a year after injury by almost 50%. Best way to prevent this? You got it- strength train 💊
