Muscle Strengthening Linked to Lower Risk of Dying – Even in Short Amounts – ScienceAlert

The risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, and cancer were particularly affected. While this link has been reported on before, in this case the scientists wanted to see if there was a sweet spot in terms of how much muscle building activity would be best in terms of reducing mortality risk. What they found was that the ben...

Becky’s stomach now features a red X, courtesy of Bianca’s hair. She’s tougher than me, that’s for damn sure. But I digress. The previously mentioned Belair and Lynch led teams into battle this week. Belair brought Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan to the ring, while Lynch teamed with Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H. Shoutout to Corey Graves for noticing Liv waiting 30 seconds before the match to talk strategy.
