How to Build Strong Bones
- Thursday April 2nd
- 19.00 – 20.15 UK time
In traditional rural societies such as in Africa and Asia, osteoporosis is rare, and yet in modern society it has become a much more common problem, especially for post-menopausal women. In developing countries like India and China with many people moving into urban areas, there is a rapid increase in this problem, so it evidently is largely caused by a modern diet and lifestyle.
It seems that a life with plenty of physical activity, a wholefood diet rich in minerals including calcium and magnesium, with little processed foods, and plenty of time spent outside with the skin creating vitamin D creates stronger bones.
Whereas life in modern culture often lacks weight-bearing exercise, with ‘bone-robbing’ foods that take calcium out of the bones, including excessive animal protein, sugar and sweet foods, and excess caffeine or alcohol. With a large part of the diet being highly processed and lacking in minerals including calcium, and widespread vitamin D deficiency, it is not surprising that bones are weakening.
I am seeing an increasing number of people with this problem of weakening bones, and supporting women in stabilizing their bone loss, or actually increasing their bone density. In some cases an overly narrow plant based diet can contribute to deficiencies in the body, leading to weakening of the bones, especially if some of the bone robbers are also being consumed. I want to pass on how this may be done to more people in this webinar.
This is not just a talk for the over 50s, to avoid this problem in later life it is vital to be building strong, dense bones from teenage times onwards! Then the bone loss that inevitably occurs to some extent later in life does not go to a dangerous level. So lets look at how to do this too.
