Want to feel younger and healthier?

New research 📚 from the University of Michigan reveals that building 💪🏽muscle might be your best investment. A recent study suggests that weak muscles 💪🏽 could affect your long-term health as much as smoking 🚬cigarettes!

Strength training and a bit of “Pumping Iron 🏋️‍♂️ Therapy” could be the secret to a longer life!

What Muhdo Health have found? 🧬

We have analysed data from 354 individuals in our epigenetics 🧬 database to try and find clues to how we can begin slowing the biological clock, improving quality and perhaps quantity of life.

The database analysis looks at resistance 🏋️‍♂️ training at 30m/+ per week at moderate level (5+ RPE) averaging out each groups chronological and biological age.

So, does resistance training 🏋️‍♂️ reverse or slow your biological age?🧬

Our results indicate that resistance training🏋️‍♂️ does in fact reduce 👵🏽 ageing, however the benefits are seen in those that train at least 3 times per week.

Those that trained 4 x per week 🏋️‍♂️ showed to have the largest reduction in age (-6 yrs) and those that trained 7 x per week were beginning to show little reduction in age (-1 yrs).

Interestingly this shows that more exercise 🏋️‍♂️is not always superior, but it is still recommended to none at all, overtraining and burnout 🔥 may have a role to play in the loss of benefit when training 7 days per week.
