重量訓練的好處？有病治病，沒病強身

撇除史考特不熟悉的中藥不談，我不曾聽說過有任何一種藥物是「有病治病，沒病強身」的。癌症需要化療藥治療、感染需要抗生素、高血壓要降血壓藥，但這幾種藥物對沒病的健康人來說，絕對沒有強身的功效，只有副作用的風險。

絕大多數宣稱有健康功效的保健食品，也都沒有治療疾病的功效。

就我所知，重量訓練是唯一符合「有病治病，沒病強身」的好東西。如果有一天我能把重量訓練當成藥物開立，那麼它絕對是我最常處方的藥物。

預防兼治療

以下這張圖是2016年台灣十大死因，這些疾病不僅帶走人們的生命，更造成許多長期失能的問題。

我整理了目前有的科學研究，將其濃縮至精華，來說明重量訓練如何幫助人們預防及治療這些疾病。

（失智症並不在十大死因內，是因為失智很少直接造成病患死亡，反而是失能所造成的續發性問題如營養不良、吞嚥困難、褥瘡等。運動與重量訓練同時有治療及預防失智的功效，我過去在這個影片中有詳細討論。）

結語

十大死因中，僅有肺炎與肝病完全無法藉由重訓預防或治療，沒有任何一種已知的藥物或健康食品，有如此廣泛的適應症。如果各位自認為熱愛生命，都應該開始向最近的健身房報到。
