Strength training is often associated with building muscle or improving physical appearance while also supporting long-term health. However, according to Dr. Gregory Duhon, MD, resistance training may also be essential in promoting brain function, reducing injury risk, and enhancing overall well-being, especially as we age.

Incorporating strength-based exercise into a routine could be one of the most practical ways to support body and mind over time.

The Brain-Body Link

While breathing and heart rate are often discussed in connection with mental clarity, strength training may offer cognitive benefits of its own. Some studies suggest that lifting weights or performing resistance-based movements promotes the growth of new brain cells and helps improve memory, attention, and decision-making skills.

“Muscle health and brain health are deeply connected,” says Gregory Duhon. “By supporting the body’s strength and stability, we may also be giving the brain more resilience over time.”

Researchers believe this connection may be partly due to the release of proteins like brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which supports neuron health and communication. Improved circulation and oxygen flow from regular strength training may also improve brain performance.

Supporting Balance and Preventing Falls

Maintaining balance and physical independence becomes more challenging as we age, but resistance training may help. Exercises that target the legs, core, and stabilizing muscles are believed to support posture, mobility, and coordination, which can, in turn, lower the risk of falls and injuries.

“Falls are one of the leading causes of health setbacks later in life,” notes Dr. Gregory Duhon, MD. “Strength training may offer a simple way to stay safer, stronger, and more independent.”

By keeping the musculoskeletal system engaged, individuals may experience improvements in walking speed, balance, and confidence in daily movement.

A Boost for Mental Health and Recovery

Strength training may also benefit emotional well-being. Research suggests it can help regulate stress hormones and improve mood by increasing self-efficacy and releasing endorphins. Maintaining a consistent movement routine—even at low intensity—may contribute to faster recovery and better immune response for individuals dealing with chronic illness or recovering from medical procedures.

In his work as a hospitalist, Gregory Duhon has seen how small, sustainable practices like this can support both physical and emotional healing.

Getting Started with Strength Training

You don’t need a gym membership or heavy equipment to begin: start with bodyweight movements such as squats, lunges, pushups, or using resistance bands. Even light dumbbells or home-based workouts can be effective when done consistently.

The key is to start slow, focus on proper form, and gradually increase intensity as strength builds.

A Lasting Investment in Health

“Strength training isn’t just for athletes or bodybuilders—it’s for anyone who wants to stay active and independent as they age,” says Dr. Gregory Duhon, MD. You may support brain health, improve physical resilience, and promote longevity by weaving resistance-based exercise into your weekly routine.

While ongoing research continues to explore how strength training affects the body, its potential to improve quality of life, both now and in the future, is hard to ignore.
