An indicator of your Overall Health

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In his insightful new book Grip Strength, author Kevin B DiBacco spotlights the critical importance of grip strength as a harbinger of total body power and future health. As the masterful coordination between small muscles and tendons that allows the hands to grasp objects, grip strength serves as more than just the strength of our palms and fingers. DiBacco explains how grip provides a window into overall muscular and physiologic reserve across ages. Citing recent studies, the book details how tracking grip strength changes over time predicts risks of developing mobility limitations, chronic diseases, dementia, and even early mortality. By enabling readers to easily test and monitor their own grip, DiBacco provides actionable strategies involving lifestyle factors and targeted training to uphold this vital indicator of strength essential for actively engaging in occupational, recreational, and daily activities long into the aging process.

Autorenporträt

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Kevin understands adversity and the temptation to quit better than most. His life has been a testament to the power of perseverance despite severe hardship. Now, he shares his story and tools to inspire others to get off the mat when knocked down by life. Kevin's health struggles began early, needing major surgery at just 16 years old. In his 20s and 30s, he endured 6 knee operations, 2 back surgeries, including spinal fusion, 2 hip replacements, and treatment for an aggressive brain tumor. Enduring over 10 major medical procedures would be enough to make anyone feel like giving up. Even as he was writing this, Kevin was struck by Covid-19. As if that wasn't another setback, Kevin developed Pneumonia and spent the spring of 2022 and the summer of 2023 having to get daily nebulizer treatments. Once again, his theories were put to the test. Once again, they worked! But Kevin refused to see himself as a victim of circumstance. Through each diagnosis and rehabilitation, he consciously worked to reframe adversity as an opportunity for growth. Instead of sadly ruminating on limitations, he focused positively on each small win: standing, walking, and climbing stairs: during recovery. He visualized himself healed and happy against all odds. Kevin leaned on his deep faith and the support of loved ones during the darkest times. When fear or hopelessness crept in, he prayed for the strength to take the next step forward. He turned to uplifting books and sayings for encouragement. Slowly but surely, he reclaimed his active lifestyle step by step. Through his journey, Kevin realized firsthand the power of mindset to determine one's life experience. He discovered that he could transform his outer reality by controlling his inner world: his thoughts, beliefs, and visualizations. Now, he hopes to share these lessons with others facing major life challenges. Kevin's book recounts his medical battles, along with the techniques he used to stay
