Bone health & osteoporosis
Aug 30, 2023 11:18 pm
Happy Wednesday, !
I just came across some info that made me do a double-take…
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.
👉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.
- Don’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.
It focuses on [exercises/nutrition/etc.] that will help you get stronger/clean up your diet/etc. – and lose weight/regain energy/have fun in the process.

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