The Surprising Things That Predict How Well You'll Age | Ep. 45

The Surprising Things That Predict How Well You'll Age | Ep. 45

What does new research actually say predicts how well you'll age, and are you already doing the things that matter most?

There is an enormous amount of research on healthy aging, and most of it shows correlation rather than causation. But a few findings are genuinely useful. In this episode of Yoga for Longevity, Mikah Horn walks through two recent studies that stuck with her: one on muscular strength, measured by grip strength and how quickly you can stand up from a chair, and one on the variety of movement in your life.

If you're over 50 and you've been hearing the strength training conversation but aren't sure where you fit, or you've been wondering whether your current movement is really enough, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • What grip strength actually measures, and why it's such a strong marker of longevity
  • The everyday ability that signals how well you're aging, and how to make it more challenging
  • Why the variety of movement in your life may matter as much as the amount
  • Why Mikah trains the "independence muscles" that keep everyday tasks doable, like carrying groceries and getting off the floor
