I just came across some info that made me do a double-takeโ€ฆ


Did you know that one in two women and up to one in four men will break a bone in their lifetime due to osteoporosis?!!!


Not only that, but HALF of all adults age 50 and older are at risk of breaking a bone due to poor bone health.


Even though those worries might seem a long way off, what you do TODAY can have a big impact on your bone health.


๐Ÿ‘‰Here are some key things you can do to help you stay strong and independent as you get older:


  • Get enough calcium and vitamin D: Talk to your healthcare provider about ways to make sure you get enough daily.
  • Exercise regularly: Make muscle-strengthening and weight-bearing exercise a non-negotiable. A minimum of two resistance training workouts a week is recommended.
  • Donโ€™t smoke, and DO limit alcohol intake: Both can lead to bone loss.
  • Ask your healthcare provider: They can give you info about your risk of getting osteoporosis and guide you when it comes to getting a bone density test.


If you want help in building healthy habits that support your bones (and the rest of your body, too!), Better Movements Challenge may be a great fit!


It focuses on [exercises/nutrition/etc.] that will help you get stronger/clean up your diet/etc. โ€“ and lose weight/regain energy/have fun in the process.


Want to know more? Reply back, and Letโ€™s talk.


As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.



Committed to your success,



Coach Lu
