Grip strength is essential for numerous everyday tasks, and recent research suggests that enhancing your grip could have long-term benefits. Studies have shown a correlation between forearm strength and longevity, with a strong grip often recognized as a predictor of a longer lifespan. In fact, grip strength is a more reliable indicator of overall and cardiovascular mortality than blood pressure measurements.
If you're trying to improve your health by walking more, you may not need to focus only on reaching a certain number of steps. A new study suggests that how quickly you walk may matter just as much. Researchers found that both walking more and picking up the pace were linked to a lower risk of death, including death from cardiovascular disease.
The simple choice between an elevator and a staircase could have implications for long-term health. A new review and meta-analysis found that regularly climbing stairs was linked to improved cardiovascular health and a lower risk of dying prematurely.
