#1 Treatment For Bone Health

Reduction in bone density, which can lead to osteoporosis and increase our risk of fracture as we age is one of the most important goals of a healthy second half of life. We’ve talked extensively before about the benefit of menopausal hormone therapy for reducing the risk of osteoporosis, but today I’m going to focus on how important exercise is in the process of helping our bones to stay healthy and even to improve their strength. Traditionally as women age and develop low bone density, we were taught to stick with very low intensity exercises, but this has been shown to not only be incorrect, but also harmful. Strenuous exercise, including use of heavy weights is not only safe if monitored properly, but incredibly beneficial for improving bone density and reducing the risk of falling and fracturing, as well as improving quality of life!
