Bone health & osteoporosis

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.

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. – and lose weight/regain energy/have fun in the process.

Want to know more? Reply back, and Let’s talk.

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

Committed to your success,
