Good health news?

[Emery]

I read a lot of bad news on this site about negative health issues but was wondering... Does anyone have good stories about how lifting/bodybuilding saved their lives due to improving their quality of life?

Maybe I am just being naive but I like to read good news also.

Thanks!!

Sure. I lost 46lbs of lard. At 37, I was a heart attack waiting to happen. Super high bad cholesterol. Bad BP. Immune function was super low. I lost the weight, put on a good 11 lbs of muscle and I am as healthy as I have ever been.
