Everyone wants to live a long and healthy life. When we get older, we would like to prevent being weak and frail. Exercise throughout your life certainly helps keep you strong into your golden years.

The results showed that vitamin D levels were associated with 4 out of 5 measurements for frailty including muscle strength, exhaustion, and slow walking speed.
