Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Cheryl – forgot to add – drink lots of pure water, eat a balanced diet. Eat lots of calcium-rich foods, instead of taking a calcium pill. I use a mini trampoline every day, which is great for bones without jarring your bones like running. Carol P.S. Other than excersise, what are your best recommendations for reversing bone loss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 RETHINKING THE CAUSES OF OSTEOPOROSISAdequate levels of many minerals like calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, and boron are important to bone. Vitamins are also essential. Vitamin D, well known for its role in calcium absorption, is taking on new importance as a growing number of us are now found to be Vitamin D deficient. Vitamin A, on the other hand, should probably be limited to under 10,000 IU daily, as high doses of vitamin A (but not beta carotene) appear to hamper bone health. Excessive intakes of coffee, sugar, fat, alcohol or protein also damage bone. Yet, those who take one or two alcoholic drinks a day actually have better bones than non-drinkers, and low protein intake is just as bad for bone as is excessively high protein intake. Exercise builds muscle snd strength builds bone while disuse causes atrophy of both. Weight loss causes bone loss, so dieters need special nutrient supplement programs. Strong medications like steroids have been long known to damage bone. Now research shows that even non-steroidal pain killers also damage bone by delaying fracture repair. Dear to my heart, the most hidden cause of osteoporosis, namely excessive metabolic acidity, is finally becoming recognized as a major "bad guy" in bone health. RETHINKING THE BEST PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF OSTEOPOROSISRecognizing the complexity of osteoporosis, we at the Osteoporosis Education Project have developed a comprehensive NINE STEP PROGRAM for Bone Health Maximization. Each of the nine steps is life supporting in itself, making this program one that builds better bonts and a better body. Better Bones, Better Body is a great motto for all of us. It is never too early or too late to build and rebuild bone naturally. Furthermore, everything we do for bone can be and should be good for the rest of our body! http://www.betterbones.com/bbbb_program/index.htm Suzi What is a weed?
