And why wouldn’t it a longer, healthier life means more time to enjoy the things we love with the people we love. It’s no secret that physical activity plays a crucial role in achieving this goal, but today, we delve into a specific type of exercise that’s been touted as a game changer for our health span, resistance training, the latest findings from the world anti-aging meeting have zeroed in on resistance training as one of the best things you can do to improve your health span. But why is that? What makes resistance training stand out? The secret lies in our muscles. Interestingly, muscle is a longevity organ. The stronger your muscles, the better equipped you are to prevent injuries. Picture this, you stumble, but instead of fracturing a hip or sustaining a head injury, your muscles help you regain balance. That’s the power of muscle, but the benefits of muscle go beyond just physical strength. Muscles house mitochondria, the powerhouses of our cells. When you exercise your muscles, produce more mitochondria. More mitochondria mean more energy and improved metabolism and better weight control, and the wonders of muscle don’t stop there. Exercising your muscles sends signals to your brain to ramp up serotonin production, this improves your mood and releases brain derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, which aids in the creation of new brain cells. So, if someone ever calls you a muscle head, take it as a compliment. It means you’re smart. Moreover, muscles release peptides that protect against cancer and being the most metabolically active tissue. Muscles also guard against diabetes. If a longer, healthier life is your aim, then it’s time to gear up for a battle, the battle to protect your muscle mass. Incorporate resistance training into your routine. The general recommendation is 30 minutes of weight training five times a week. So, the path to a longer, healthier life isn’t shrouded in mystery.
