As a medical school professor, I tell my students: muscle isn't vanity. It's a longevity organ.

A new JAMA Network Open study of 5,000+ women ages 63-99 just proved it:

> Every 7kg increase in grip strength = 12% lower mortality
> Faster chair-stand time = 4% lower death risk per 6-second improvement
> Results held EVEN after controlling for aerobic fitness and inflammation

The most striking finding?...

If you want to be fit at 70, you need to get fit earlier in life. Ageing brings decline regardless of how fit you are. Start from a higher base, fall from higher up. Fitness compounds, just like money. Go lift some weights, go for a swim, walk around the block!

Muscle isn't vanity, it's your independence account. Sarcopenia steals 15% per decade after 60. The fix? 2-3x weekly resistance training + adequate protein can reverse muscle loss at ANY age. Your future self will thank you for every squat.
