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.
