what ✨SCIENCE✨ actually says: lifting = longevity especially in women. A 2024 study from the American College of Cardiology reports that weekly strength training lowers the risk of death from any cause in women by 19% and a 30% reduced risk of cardiovascular-related death. The bar(bell) is literally in your favor. Further, Big meta-analyses from 2024 find that RESISTANCE TRAINING reduces anxiety in women. From teenage girls to post-menopausal women — RESISTANCE TRAINING can be considered a core treatment for mild to moderate depression, alongside psychotherapy and antidepressants. TLDR: if you want to live longer AND improve your mental health, it’s time to lift weights. We don’t SHRINK, we get stronger. #weightlifting #womenshealth #mentalhealthtiktoks
