Thirty years of data and nearly 150,000 participants later, researchers may have pinpointed exactly how much lifting you need to do to meaningfully cut your risk of dying early.
A randomized controlled trial gave people with moderate-to-severe depression seven sessions with a clinical dietician instead of a pill. Twelve weeks later, the results were hard to ignore.
