The primary benefit of strength training is its positive impact on cognitive health.

A healthy brain enables better decision-making, which in turn improves every aspect of life.

strength training increases your levels of Klotho Protein which supports cognitive function, and reduces risk of alzheimers and dementia 🧠

but also hormone health, skeletal muscle health, bone health, heart health, fat loss, joint health, general longevity, etc

hard to pick just one as the primary benefit!
