Well, it turns out strength is the most highly correlated factor that we have control of to health, longevity, and even cognitive performance. I suppose we might even say physical strength correlates strongly to mental and emotional strength.
And it trumps genetics, and by a lot.
How do we know this? To start with there was so much anecdotal evidence of this that researchers began doing studies on it. And at this point the body of research evidence for this is massive.
The topic of this blog is a scientist-researcher who also works directly with individuals:
Dr Andy Galpin, PhD, is Professor of Kinesiology (the study of movement) at California State University, Fullerton, and Co-Director of the Center for Sport Performance and Founder/Director of the Biochemistry and Molecular Exercise Physiology Laboratory.
In addition to this information being valuable to you personally, you may even find his story touching. Enjoy.
