Description
In this discussion I look at why it's important to development a good strong grip. Our grip strength is a physiological indication of the force produced by muscle contraction, of which is initiated by our brain sending signals to the appropriate limb etc. A poor / weak grip is considered an important consideration in all cause mortality (ACM) as it can be a symptom of insufficient mind muscle connection, degenerative bone density or in some cases, early onset of Alzheimer's disease. Physical strength plays a major part in our longevity, allowing us to enjoy a quality of life in advanced years (aged 40 years and over).
