Yes, we all die and there's no getting out of this life alive. Your longevity is well within your control. I'm often asked what kinds of exercise is better, cardio or weights. And does it matter the order? Does this matter with longevity? Do your choices make it possible to cheat the Grim Reaper from knocking on your door before you're ready?
In this episode I share you with a study about the impact of lifting weights compared to cardio alone. For you cardio junkies, you may want to pump some iron. For you dumbbell only heads, you may want to walk around the block. If you don't do anything, maybe it's a good start time start. Either way, you need to find out which is best to cheat the Grim Reaper!

In previous episodes I talked about the importance of grip strength and how it relates to various health risk factors. Most of the risk factors are cardiovascular related, besides not being able to open the spaghetti sauce jar as you get older. Could there be other risk factors your grip is foreshadow to?
In this episode I discuss a handful of studies I found on how grip strength relates to cognitive decline. The studies are from the UK and talk about improving the strength of your grip could reduce symptoms and signs of cognitive decline as you age. Plus, I give you examples of exercises that can improve your grip strength which could result in improving physical and mental health markers.
