#82436 - 07/12/06 03:32 PM Bone Loss
Vicki M. Taylor Member Registered: 01/06/03 Posts: 2196 Loc: Tampa, FL	A year ago I had a bone density scan. It said I had lost 10% of my bone mass. My doctor told me that walking would help stop the loss and may even help me re-gain the bone mass. So, I started a walking program. I didn't have to walk much, just do it every day. Now, a year later, I had another bone density scan. I've re-gained the 10% loss. Without taking those bone loss pills. Just regular calcium and walking every day. It works. I have proof in my test results. If you're experiencing the same thing, try walking. It's low impact, easy, and only takes 20 minutes out of your day. _________________________ Vicki "What you believe yourself to be, you are." Claude M. Bristol Your Writing Coach Writing Coach Blog

Ladies, she's also lost the most weight in the boomer diet forum. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Thanks. _________________________ What I know for sure is that it's all connected. Saundra Goodman Got Teeth? A Survivor's Guide www.gotteethguide.com for your Free Tips

Vicki M. Taylor Member Registered: 01/06/03 Posts: 2196 Loc: Tampa, FL	Thanks, I couldn't believe that something so simple as walking would regenerate bone mass but it did. Dotsie, I'm nearing the 70 lb mark. I'm having my website redesigned. I'll have new pictures on it. I'll make an announcement when it's ready for viewing. _________________________ Vicki "What you believe yourself to be, you are." Claude M. Bristol Your Writing Coach Writing Coach Blog

amysherm Registered: 09/07/08 Posts: 1 Loc: Florida	Does anyone know some good natural products that work to increase bone density? I have osteopenia and my MD wants me to go on Fosamax. After researching the web, there is no way I'm going on that product. I walk the treadmill 6 days a week and go to gym to lift weights 3-4x week. I have been able to maintain within the osteopenia range for 7 years, but it has worsened a drop this year. Any suggestions?

mscoach Registered: 11/14/07 Posts: 83 Loc: Hampton Bays, NY	Amy, The food we eat is vitally important to preserving bone and keeping them flexible. Lots of fruits and veggies so we keep the acid/alkaline balance. Glad you decided not to do the drugs as they may strengthen but the also make them inflexible which is the real danger when it comes to falls. Take a look at this book--which I wish I'd written--it's comprehensive but easy to read on how to preserve bones and calcium.
