Did you know that one in two women and up to one in four men will break a bone in their lifetime due to osteoporosis?!!! Not only that but HALF of all adults age 50 and older are at risk of breaking a bone due to poor bone health. Even though those worries might seem a long way off, what you do TODAY can have a big impact on your bone health. Here are some key things you can do to help you stay strong and independent as you get older: Get enough calcium and vitamin D: Talk to your healthcare provider about ways to make sure you get enough daily. Exercise regularly: Make muscle-strengthening and weight-bearing exercise a non-negotiable. A minimum of two resistance training workouts a week is recommended. Don’t smoke and DO limit alcohol intake: Both can lead to bone loss. Ask your healthcare provider: They can give you info about your risk of getting osteoporosis, and guide you when it comes to getting a bone density test.
