Boost Bone Strength WITHOUT Drugs
Have you been talked into getting a bone scan for osteoporosis yet?
If you haven’t, it’s coming.
But you won’t get that spiel from me.
Too often, folks get these scans who don’t need them—and then doctors incorrectly interpret the results.
This adds up to countless seniors who’ve been told they have osteoporosis when they don’t. And who are then told to take a drug they don’t need.
I have a better idea. It’s a fun (yes, FUN) way to safely build stronger bones.
As you age, you’ll experience a natural decline in bone mineral density.
However, in some folks, this process is accelerated by factors like prescription drugs, certain diseases, or lifestyle choices.
Women are especially at risk for bone density decreases as they age because of a decline in estrogen that comes with menopause—and estrogen supports bone health.
One way to help fight back is to incorporate high-impact activities into your exercise routine.
I often tell my patients that when they’re happy, they should jump for joy.
Why? Because jumping is GREAT for your bone health.
Even as few as 20 jumps daily can stimulate bone remodeling and mineralization.
One study showed that doing 10 to 20 jumps twice daily for 16 weeks improved bone mineral density in premenopausal women. There’s every reason to believe it would do the same for senior women and men of all ages, too.
The force from the impact of jumping causes small strains in your bones stimulating bone growth. This increases bone mineral density, making those bones stronger and less prone to fractures.
It doesn’t have to be strictly jumping, either. Any impact exercise will increase your bone density, whether it’s jogging, doing a trampoline workout, jumping rope, or doing a handful of jump squats.
While impact exercises are great for bone health, not everyone should do them.
Talk to your doctor about your case to determine if this type of program would be safe and beneficial for you. Strength training is another excellent option.
If you need more guidance, a personal trainer at your local gym or a physical therapist, if you qualify, can help you design the perfect bone-building exercises for your situation.
