If you’re moving into your later years of 50 and beyond, one of the top health concerns that may be forthright on your mind at the moment is osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is something that impacts a wide number of individuals, especially those who haven’t taken protective action to enhance their bone health earlier on in life.  The good news however is that it’s not too late and if you do a few key things right now, you can certainly prevent osteoporosis from taking over your life.

Let’s go over what you should know about combating this problem for good and how we can help.  

Consult A Trainer To Get Started On A Strength Training Workout

Perhaps the most beneficial way to combat osteoporosis is to start working with a personal trainer who can put you on a strength training program designed to enhance bone strength.

You’ve likely heard before that any form of weight bearing exercise can enhance bone strength considerably, however nothing is going to top weight lifting.

With weight lifting not only are you going to be bearing your own body weight, but you’ll be bearing additional weight added to that.

In addition to that, weight training is also going to help to increase your range of motion, improving ligament and tendon health, which can also come into play when one is starting to experience bone pain and problems.

The stronger these ligaments and tendons are, the less likely you are to develop discomfort and movement restriction.

When you come to work with us, we’ll put you on a program that is specifically designed with bone strength and mobility in mind, so that you can rest assured you’re doing everything possible to maintain healthy bones into the years ahead.

Nutrition Advice

The second reason you should consult with us if osteoporosis is an issue that’s at the top of your mind right now is because we can offer some further nutritional advice on how to beat osteoporosis on the diet side of things.

Most people already know that getting enough dairy or calcium each day is important for strong bones, but there are many other vitamins and minerals that are important to be consuming as well.

For instance, magnesium and vitamin D will also be critical for bone health and development, so we can assist with taking a look at your diet and making sure you aren’t falling short in any of the vital nutrients you need to be consuming.

And if you are, we can suggest simple methods to help bring your intakes up so that you aren’t falling deficit and putting yourself at risk.

So make sure that you are taking the risk of osteoporosis seriously.  It is a debilitating condition that can quickly take over your life if you aren’t careful, but with the right plan of action, can easily be prevented in most cases.
