Bones Like Stones
From Energy Times, Nov/Dec 2010
We can all improve the quality of our bones and help avoid osteoporosis. From infancy to young adulthood, bones build density. Mass peaks around 30 years of age and begins to break down at 50 years of age. If you start early with exercise and a few moderate lifestyle changes, you can have bones like stones!!
Did you know that about 44 million Americans have osteoporosis and low bone mass (osteopenia), that can go unnoticed until an actual break or fracture occurs? Wow, pretty incredible since this country is tops when it comes to having the finest medical diagnostic equipment in the world.....hmmm....Don't blame it on insurance companies or healthcare costs...there are plenty of FREE bone density testing days out there. Most people are ignorant, lazy or just don't care about their health to take a 5 minute, painless test.
According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, one in two women and one in four men over age 50 will suffer an osteoporosis-related fracture during their lifetime...whew!!!! That could be YOU!!
Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day: modifying your diet is the best way to have bones like stones! Calcium is crucial (1,000mg daily for adults 18-50 yrs and 1,200 daily for those over 50). Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. Vitamin K2 assists in the creation of proteins that incorporate calcium and other minerals into bone. AlgaeCal is particularly absorbable. COFFEE can inhibit the absorption of calcium, so it's best to wait an hour either before or after coffee to take your supplements.
EXERCISE....weight bearing exercise builds bone mass. Having been an athlete most of my life, I went for a bone density test. I found out I had the bone density of a 22 year old (described as a 'brick house') and at the rate I was going at 49, on the charts, I'll be 122 years of age before anyone would dream of suggesting I should worry about my bones. Honestly, I really don't want to live until 122 (just think of the visual here...ugh!), but I'm gonna keep up with my exercise and diet modifications, cause I sure don't want a broken or fractured bone spoiling my fun!!
A SPECIAL TIP FOR THE MEN TODAY: hey guys, you're often left out on the bone density partywagon. Speak with your healthcare practitioner and get yourselves a baseline bone density test!! Medical doctors often neglect men's bone health and never order a baseline test and then, it's too late! IT AIN'T JUST FOR THE GIRLS!!!!

Bone Density Demystified
Today, I had my bone density tested. Voila! I've been told by my most wonderful doctor that I'm built like 'a brick outhouse'. This translates to... I've got great bones!
The good doctor and I attribute this to all the exercise, diet, some genetic disposition, and lifestyle I've lived up until this point. Who knew?? Basically, according to the chart, I might dip into an 'iffy' bone zone when I reach the ripe old age of 110. Folks, if I get anywhere near the age of 110, please put the pillow over my head and let's be done with it!
Seriously, good bone health can't be stressed enough. This goes for MEN AND WOMEN alike! If you don't have good, strong bones, you risk the possibility for fractures, osteoporosis, brittle bones and huge healthcare bills. I've written an article that's posted on the Sports Page of my website that demystifies bone density. Read it...it's good stuff!
Gentlemen....just because you are a male doesn't mean that you don't have to worry about your bones. Men lose testosterone as they age and your bones are just as important as a woman's.
If you feel you are ready for better bones, better sleep, better digestion, less stress and great health, call or email today and ENROLL YOURSELF in my Wellness Coaching Program. I'll give you all the tools and counseling you need for strong bones and good health!
