Osteoporosis and Exercise
Filed in archive Osteoporosis by Florence Cardinal on March 21, 2007

I do have osteoporosis, and exercise is prescribed to strengthen the bones. Medical News Today says:
Bone-loading exercise and a balanced diet are essential for preventing osteoporosis. To take care of your bones now so they stay strong enough to carry you through a lifetime of health and activity.
The Lantern Books Blog agrees:
To build muscle, you have to put stress on it. If you gradually put more stress on a muscle than it is accustomed to handling, it responds by adding more muscle. As more weight is added, the muscle gets bigger. The same is true of bone. Bone is much like muscle in that it only gets as strong (dense) as the demands placed on it.
Guess it's time to grab that duster and start building up my bones.
