Why you want to strength train and not just diet.

8 December, 2008 (20:11) | New Findings | By: Joe

Here is a study from July 2008. Bascically said the stronger you are the less likely you are to die from heart disease and cancer:

Muscular strength was independently associated with risk of death from
all causes and cancer in men. These findings are valid for men of
normal weight, those who are overweight, and younger or older men, and
are valid even after adjusting for several potential confounders,
including cardiorespiratory fitness. Muscular strength seems to add to
the protective effect of cardiorespiratory fitness against the risk of
death in men. Whether the association between muscular strength and
risk of death from cardiovascular disease is independent of typical
confounders as well as of cardiorespiratory fitness warrants further
investigation.

Not a definitive study but it sure supports what I have seen in real life.
