The unexpected link between legs and heart health

A new study is claiming strong legs are the key to a strong heart.

Cardiologist and host of 3AW’s Healthy Living, Dr Ross Walker, says it’s not surprising strong legs are linked to healthier hearts.

“It’s not just having big legs, there was a study out of Korea of just over 9,000 people showing those who had the best hand grip had much lower mortality rates as well,” Dr Walker told Neil Mitchell.
