Luckily, a study published on the Oxford Academic research platform found that adding just one session of resistance training a week can greatly reduce the weakening of muscle mass.

You could add 20 years to your life by implementing 8 habits by middle age, according to a new report presented at last month’s American Society for Nutrition. The suggested behaviors include following a healthy diet and avoiding opioid addiction and smoking.

According to the study, men and women who started these behaviors by the age of 40 could live an average of 24 and 21 years longer, respectively, than their counterparts who didn't.

“The earlier the better, but even if you only make a small change in your 40s, 50s or 60s, it still is beneficial,” said lead study author Xuan-Mai Nguyen. “This is not out of reach — this is actually something attainable for the general population.”
