How to Prevent Osteoporosis in Women
- Exercise works on bones much like it works on muscles- it makes them stronger. Weight-bearing like stair climbing, squats etc .and low impact aerobics exercises are good exercises. Apart from strengthening, there needs to be flexibility also involved in the regime for overall bone and muscle health
- The best time to build bone density is during years of rapid growth. Our peak bone mass in maximum strength and density is achieved in our late twenties. Weight-bearing exercise during the teen years is essential to reach maximum bone strength. A teen’s physical activity should include 20 to 30 minutes of weight-bearing exercise at least 3 to 4 days each week.
- Inactivity causes loss of bones. With ageing and certain medications, bones become fragile causing a greater risk of broken bones, which can seriously limit mobility and independence. When you exercise regularly, your bone adapts by building strong bone and becoming denser. This improvement in bone requires good nutrition, including adequate calcium and Vitamin D.
- Keep a check on your Vitamin D and calcium levels from time to time. Have a diet that is rich in both calcium and proteins and spend 10-15 minutes in the sun every day.
- Maintain an optimum body weight, too light or too heavy both have a negative impact on the bones.
