TL;DR Summary

A new study suggests that lifting weights three times a week can reduce biological age by nearly eight years.

The study highlights the benefits of consistent strength training in mitigating chronic disease effects and slowing cellular aging, although it notes potential measurement errors due to self-reported exercise data.
