This exercise habit may slash dementia risk and help you live longer, study finds

A study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that adults who engage in 90-119 minutes of weekly resistance training have a 13% lower risk of death from any cause, 19% lower risk of cardiovascular death, and 27% lower risk of neurological disease death compared to those who do no strength training. Combining resistance training with aerobic exercise further reduces mortality risk by up to 45%, while exceeding 120 minutes of resistance training per week offers no additional benefits.
