Weight training linked to lower mortality and reduced disease risk
Regular weight training reduces the risk of death from all causes, including a lower likelihood of heart disease and dementia.

While the fitness industry often promotes supplements and expensive devices as anti-aging breakthroughs, strength training remains a primary method for improving long-term health outcomes.
