nutrition improve the health of people of all ages. Research has shown
strength training benefits to include arthritis relief, restoration of
balance and reduction of falls, strengthening of bone, proper weight maintenance,
improved glucose control, healthy state of mind, sleep improvement, and
healthier heart tissue.
