Staying active is one of the best things you can do for your bone health—and walking is an easy, enjoyable, and effective way to build strong bones and help prevent osteoporosis. That’s why BHOF is launching ‘Be Bone Strong’™ Walking Clubs in communities across the country!
Many people don’t realize that healthy bone habits begin when you’re young. Most people reach Peak Bone Mass (the strongest, most dense bone you’ll have) by their mid-to-late 20s. In order to reach Peak Bone Mass, you must get enough calcium and vitamin D in your diet and practice weight-bearing and muscle- strengthening exercises regularly. Andrew Llodrá, a young, 20-something male with low bone density knows first-hand that lifestyle changes and regular exercise can go a long way in protecting and improving bone health.
Whether you’ve just been diagnosed with osteoporosis or have been living with it for some time, chances are you may have many questions. How do I manage the disease? Will I break a bone or suffer a second fracture? Do I have to give up all the activities I love? It’s normal to have questions and feel uncertainties, but it’s also important to remember that many people with osteoporosis live full, rewarding lives. Ray Morgan is one of them.
