The January issue of Mayo Clinic Health Letter lists reasons why it’s good to add strength training to your exercise regimen. Benefits include:
* Increasing bone density: This reduces the risk and impact of osteoporosis.
* Reducing the risk of falling: Strength training contributes to better balance, coordination and agility.
* Maintaining a healthy weight: Pound for pound, muscle burns three times more calories than fat. Increased muscle mass enables your body to burn calories more quickly and efficiently.
* Alleviating chronic back pain: People often experience less pain after strengthening their back and abdominal muscles.
* Making everyday tasks easier: Housework, mowing the lawn or carrying groceries takes less effort. Strong muscles mean you’re less likely to injure muscles, tendons or ligaments.
Talk to your doctor about appropriate strengthening exercises, especially if you have osteoporosis.

"Big Tech and mainstream media are constantly trying to silence the independent voices that dare to bring you the truth about toxic food ingredients, dangerous medications and the failed, fraudulent science of the profit-driven medical establishment.
Email is one of the best ways to make sure you stay informed, without the censorship of the tech giants (Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.). Stay informed and you'll even likely learn information that may help save your own life."
