Here's a quick fun fact for you!
Did you know that women are FOUR times more likely to develop osteoporosis than men as they age? Yep! The drop in estrogen can lead to thinning and weakening of the bones which leads to porous bone composition, leading to osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones get weak and brittle due to hormone changes as we age. Men are also susceptible, so the following suggestions are beneficial for everyone!
Daily exercise such as strength training with weights and walking puts tension on the muscles and the bones! When the bones have tension, it causes tiny microfractures which the bone cells repair. This, in turn, leads to thickening and strengthening of the bones!
It's also important to include sources of calcium, potassium, magnesium, and vitamins D, C, and K into your diet to encourage bone growth and repair.
Do some daily strength training, get some steps in, and enjoy a balanced diet, friends! It helps to keep the bones strong and healthy!
