Do you lack the strength to open jars and screw-top bottles? Lack of grip strength is extremely important in older people, so much so that it is used as a measure to calculate strength and general fitness in old age. It may seem silly but losing grip strength in your hand makes you more dependent. If you are not able to open jars, pick up a glass or handle your cutlery, it is very likely that you need someone to help you to eat, get dressed or even take a shower. If you notice that you have difficulties opening jars, or that you are always helping your father or grandfather to open them, I recommend that you stay until the end of the video to learn a simple exercise routine to improve the strength of your hands, which you can do at home without any special equipment.
