Want a Healthy Brain? Don’t Skip Leg Day When you train your leg muscles, you support your brain. Studies show that a decline in leg muscle strength can be associated with accelerated cognitive aging.

#CLSAResearch mentioned in @voguemagazine for an article on #BrainHealth and muscle activity. Published in @JAMANetworkOpen, the study found that older adults with lower muscle mass showed a significantly faster decline in certain cognitive functions.
