A groundbreaking 10-year study from King's College London on 300 female twins has uncovered a surprising truth: the strength of your leg muscles is a powerful predictor of how well your brain ages. This research shows that the twin with stronger legs at the start of the study maintained better cognitive function and brain structure a decade later, independent of genetics. Delve into the science behind the muscle-brain axis, the role of myokines, and how targeted resistance training can help preserve both your mind and body for years to come....
