Strong calf muscles act like a second heart, boosting circulation and delivering oxygen to your brain to support sharper thinking Larger calves are linked with better balance, fewer falls, and a reduced risk of dementia as you age Leg strength stimulates the release of growth factors that help your brain grow new cells and preserve memory Simple exercises like calf raises, lunges, and squats build muscle, improve stability, and protect long-term independence Tracking your calf size and strength gives you a clear, measurable way to safeguard both your body and your mind
