Grip strength and leg strength are an effect with the same root cause as longer health and lifespan — mitochondrial health. If your mitochondrial health is compromised, strength work can disable you or kill you sooner than if you didn’t do it. Why? Because excess exhaust is created exercising and essential nutrients deplete doing the exercise so that the energy potential can’t be used, say, to energize your heart. A formerly really muscular friend of mine had a heart attack and he’s 5 years younger than me — and my epigenetic mitochondria were so screwed up I stopped gaining muscle at 21… Yet he’s crippled and I’m not. I absolutely believe my body not allowing positive feedback from working out (think muscle acid in my veins) prevented me from some catastrophic health problem, as opposed to my chronic one that I think is improving as I nourish my mitochondria. I think my body flipped anabolic after 36+ years of being catabolic. Even so, I’m progressing slowly to allow for more energy to heal other critical systems over time. Dropping from 186 lbs. to 146.5 lbs in your 30s,40s and 50s based on metabolic lethargy is quite taxing.

There is a false assumption here. Grip strength is an effect. Leg strength is an effect. It is like saying being a Ford predicts how fast your car will go because a Ford won the Indie-500. That false conclusion requires a false assumption as well. The real question is -- what creates the conditions allowing for greater grip and leg strength? The answer is healthy and nutrified mitchondria. If you mitochondria are toast, do all the grip and leg work you want, except your body will make sure you don't want to do any or you will likely go to an early grave. But that data isn't studied...

@johnreidy2804 I appreciate the positive feedback — it is quite rare. ‘Eat in accord with nature’ is the best summary of what I’m trying to do. What did your ancestors eat 1,000 years ago that got your genetic line to this point? I don’t ingest industrially processed seed oils or rusty iron filings, neither of which exist in food naturally. I want to approximate nose-to-tail eating of grass grazed animals, which means organ meats from lambs and goats from a Middle Eastern butcher. I eat liver, brain, heart, lung, kidney, pancreas and goat-foot soup. And Rocky Mountain oysters. The organs are rich in absorbable bio-copper, a key energetic nutrient that is often half or less than 1948 test subjects.. i only ingest pure Na/Cl and pure K/Cl — I believe the other salts have contamination and lost their electrical potential long ago. I follow Dr. Ellie Phillips’ amazing total mouth care system… because I want to keep my teeth and don’t want bacteria festering in root canals or more cavitations. I dislike some of the products, but they work in spades. I consider it going back 3 steps to move forward 30 steps. I cycle between keto, fasting and a Zone Diet (40/30/30) macronutrient ratio, but remember, I try to eat nature’s carbs grown in accordance with with nature (and not industry). I try to do some physical exertion if I ingest a decent amount of carbs… if I’m sedentary I’m more likely to do keto or low carb. I do some sardine fasting (Dr. Boz) and water fasting. My height increased almost 5/8” in my 50s. My very bad skin on my head is significantly less bad, but still has a ways to go. The skin on my feet are much better as well. I still don’t feel energetic or motivated and my latest effort is reading and implementing The Mood Cure. It is a work in progress. My life has been quite stressful due to: 1. Poor epigenetics (I was adopted). 2. Poor diet — Crisco and iron filing loaded cereals and breads where the norm, as were the fluoride pills. 3. Being submerged in other people’s pathological narcissism. 4. I supplemented zinc, my Na/K HTMA dropped linearly from 6.5 to 1.7, and I felt my energy drain as that line dropped. I’m still trying to get my energy back by renutrifying and detoxifying. I do have an odd heart awareness, but my cardio seems to be pretty decent and I find it hard to believe my heart is worse now than 6 years ago when I wasn’t ‘aware’ of it. Physical exertion does make me tired, but I think less so as I recover more.
