? Exercise makes us stronger as we age because it helps to improve our cardiovascular health, increase our muscle strength and tone, and improve our flexibility. It also helps to reduce the risk of various chronic illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Stress, on the other hand, can weaken our bodies as we age because it can lead to chronic inflammation, increased blood pressure, and weakened immune systems. Over time, chronic stress can also lead to depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.
