🦴World Osteoporosis Day is a great time to remember how important bone health is. In this video, I'm pushing and pulling a weighted sled which can help prevent or manage Osteoporosis, even at 66 like me, by providing high-magnitude, weight-bearing resistance and mechanical loading that stimulates bone-forming cells (osteoblasts). Be proactive to learn how to protect your bones.
🦴Heavy calcium supplementation or milk alone doesn't guarantee a strong bone matrix and can risk soft-tissue calcification.
🦴Vitamin D3 requires K2 to activate osteocalcin, ensuring calcium is directed into the bones rather than arterial walls.
🦴Magnesium is mandatory for activating vitamin D and supporting bone mineralization, alongside trace minerals like zinc, boron, and silicon.
🦴Adequate dietary protein and collagen peptides provide the structural amino-acid matrix where bone crystals deposit.
🦴Chronic low-grade systemic inflammation accelerates the breakdown of bone so protect and strengthen your GUT HEALTH!
🦴Beyond standard DEXA scans, there are advanced labs to check for hormonal deficiencies and address hormones .
🦴At every age, include resistance training and weight bearing exercises as well as jump training for stronger bones as they signal osteoblasts to build new bone density.
🦴Identifying and lowering exposure to heavy metals (like lead) and endocrine-disrupting chemicals that accumulate in bone tissue are often overlooked but contributing factors to weaker bones. Also address chronic physiological or physical stress that elevates cortisol, which depletes protective hormones like progesterone and accelerates bone demineralization.
