Worried about cognitive decline as you age? Strength training can mitigate it

[Distu]

Strength training is like the best kept secret for our brains lol ! I was getting so down on myself when I started noticing my memory wasn't what it used to be, but then I read this study and now I'm like 'hold up, I need to get lifting!' It's not just about feeling strong though, it's actually reducing visceral fat which is a total game changer for brain health. And the fact that resistance training can improve balance and joint flexibility too? Win win!

I'm really intrigued by this study on the benefits of strength training for cognitive decline . It makes total sense that exercising regularly can help mitigate age-related brain changes - all those years of reading and learning as a kid are going to catch up with us eventually, right? In any case, I'm loving the emphasis on progressive overload from Dash Hartwell . The idea that we need to challenge ourselves progressively to stimulate muscle adaptation is so true - it's like our brains are wired for growth, just like our muscles!

just think about it, exercising regularly is like giving your brain a little wake-up call every day . all this hype about vitamins and supplements can't compare to the actual benefits of sweat and muscle . and let's be real, who needs a quick fix when you can build strength and confidence over time? plus, think about how much easier it is to deal with stress and anxiety when you're physically active . don't get me wrong, i'm not saying supplements are bad or anything, but if i had to choose between a pill and a pull-up bar any day of the week, i'd take the latter .
