[Revealed] Is THIS Why Your Bones Are Failing?
Mainstream medicine loves to talk about maintaining your bone health as you age…
But they’re not so great at helping you solve the problem.
They push bone-building drugs like bisphosphonates, that come with a laundry list of scary side effects.
Or they’ll stick you on a calcium supplement that’s just as likely to end up in your arteries as your bones.
But keeping your bones healthy as you get older doesn’t have to be so complicated.
There’s an invisible threat to your bone health that doctors almost never talk about it.
And the good news? It’s easy to fix.
First off, if you’re not taking your bone health seriously, you need to start… today.
Studies have shown that unhealthy, thinning bones can literally shave years off your life.
And that just makes sense, right? Something like a hip fracture can send you to the operating table… or even a nursing home.
But one of the easiest ways to protect your bones has been practically ignored by modern medicine.
I’m talking about keeping your circadian rhythm healthy.
Your circadian rhythm is your body’s natural sleep/wake cycle – but it actually plays many other roles in maintaining your health.
In recent research published in the European Journal of Endocrinology, Australian researchers took a deep dive into how circadian health affects our bones and joints.
When your circadian rhythm is off kilter, it interferes with the rise and fall of hormones called glucocorticoids throughout the day. This can hamper bone cell activity, resulting in bone loss – and even fractures.
Now, here’s the question…
Of all the conversations about bone health that will happen in doctors’ offices across America today, how often do you think circadian health will come up?
Almost never. It’s too easy to hand you a prescription, tell you to take calcium, and send you on your way.
But keeping your circadian rhythm healthy is essential for your bones. And here are three quick ways to get started.
- Get sun exposure in your eyes first thing every morning. No glasses or contact lenses. You don’t have to look directly into the sun – just keep it in your peripheral vision. This helps set your circadian rhythm for the day.
- Keep a consistent bedtime every night, including on weekends.
- Avoid artificial blue light from phones, laptops, tablets, and TVs at least 60-90 minutes before bed. Your body mistakes this light for sunlight, and it interferes with your circadian rhythm.
Just follow these three steps consistently, and you’ll be going a long way toward protecting your bones as you age.
