What Do Squats Have to Do with Brain Health in Menopause?

Train your legs!

A twin study showed women with stronger legs had better cognitive function and larger brain volumes, especially in memory regions like the hippocampus.

The research found:

  • Great leg power = larger brain volume
  • Better leg strength = better cognitive resilience
  • Strong legs may slow brain aging

Yet ANOTHER reason to resistance train, especially your legs!

Thank you @drsteel56 for the work you do, particularly by sharing this study & providing even more motivation to strength train.
