9. Weakened Grip Strength
Jars are typically difficult to open, but if they seem increasingly tight it could indicate a lack of bone strength, rather than a fault on the manufacturer’s end.
The strength of an Individual’s grip can be an indicator of general bone strength, and studies have shown a link between grip strength and bone density.5‘OSTEOPENIA - Symptoms, Causes, Risk Groups, Prevention and Treatment.’ Ecosh Life, https://ecosh.com/osteopenia-symptoms-causes-risk-groups-prevention-and-treatment/. A weak grip often correlates with a brittle spine and hips, but practicing weight-bearing exercise can dramatically improve bone density and grip strength.
