"Resistance training is linked to boosted brain health, especially in the elderly.
Lifting weights helps balance metabolism, which may reduce Alzheimer's risk.
Regular weightlifting may improve immune health and lower inflammation."
These are all things that other types of exercise also tend to provide. I think it's probably getting too granular to say a specific type of exercise is best. There are tons of studies out there touting one exercise type over another for one reason or another. Moderation and variation doesn't just apply to food (although with food you're generally moderating down, but with exercise most people need to moderate up).
