The Pill-Free Path to STRONGER Bones
If you’re over 50, there’s a good chance your bones are getting weaker with each passing year.
Unfortunately, this is a silent problem that’s easy to overlook unless you get your bone density checked… or until you suffer a fracture.
By then, you’re coming from behind and trying to make up for lost time, and that’s no place to be.
Your doctor will likely try to push a prescription drug on you. But you don’t need bisphosphonates to maintain your bone density as you age.
Instead, there’s a pill-free way to form stronger, denser bones at ANY age.
Researchers examined seven years of data on 10,000 adults, factoring in three things:
- body fat percentage
- bone density (measured by DEXA)
- activity levels
They found that lower activity levels were associated with a higher percentage of body fat AND lower bone density.
On the flip side, more physically active people had a lower body fat percentage and greater bone density.
You see, exercise builds stronger bones by stimulating bone-forming cells. When these cells out-pace cells that tear down your bones, the result is stronger, denser bones.
Different kinds of movement have different bone benefits.
For example, weight-bearing exercises cause your muscles to pull on your bones, which triggers them to produce more bone tissue.
Resistance exercises cause your bones to release minerals that strengthen your bones, like calcium and magnesium.
Fortunately, you don’t need to pump weights to have a positive impact on your bones.
You just need to keep moving.
This could mean taking regular walks, taking up a new hobby like gardening, playing with your grandkids, or volunteering at your local soup kitchen.
The point is to sit less and move more.
The result will be stronger, fracture-resistant bones… and likely less body fat.
