Bone Health Part I: Exercise for Healthy Bones

 

May is Osteoporosis Awareness Month. Three Daily Tips this week will feature

information on how diet, exercise and supplements can affect bone health.

 

Good nutrition (such as adequate calcium intake) is vital to bone health -

but so is exercise. Daily exercise can help to prevent and even reverse bone

loss, as well as promote stability and balance. Incorporate these forms of

exercise into your daily routine to help keep bones strong and your body

flexible:

* Weight bearing exercise - try walking, dancing or climbing stairs

daily (aim for 30-60 minutes most days).

* Strength training - lunges, free weights or weight machines are good

choices - contact a professional trainer for personal instruction.

* Flexibility exercises - Tai Chi and yoga can improve balance,

coordination and flexibility.

Nothing wastes more energy than worrying - the longer a problem is

carried, the heavier it gets. Don't take things too seriously - live a

life of serenity, not a life of regrets.
