🩺 Postscript – Why This Matters
Lifting iron - it’s about protecting our futures.
Medical research shows that weight-bearing exercise, 2–3 times per week, can reduce our risk of death from all causes by up to 20%.
For older adults especially, it helps preserve muscle, protect bones, prevent frailty, and even reduce cancer and heart disease risk.
