Thistle Cove Farm Member Registered: 01/01/04 Posts: 678 Loc: Tazewell County, VA, USA	I am SO blessed! I took a bone density test and was told I've got the bone density about the same as an 18 year old girl. Don't tell me drinking a half gallon of milk a day doesn't help. Now if I could just get down to 1% but I'll have to be dragged kicking and screaming and tied down to drink blue john...NO WAY!

Another factor is a little fat on your body. The fat on your body also affects estrogesterone levels which also affect bone porosity as in osteoporosis. Jus a thought. smile

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	They say thinner women have less bone density than heavier women. This is one of those times being fatter is a plus... I haven't had the test yet either but am told its totally painless. Every book I've read says to have yourself tested around 45/50 years old. Hey, it can't hurt right!

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Okay, I'll add that test when I see my doctor next. It sounds like it's time. I've heard it's good to have a baseline for future reference.

Toni Member Registered: 12/11/03 Posts: 504 Loc: Pennsylvania	Had my first bone density test at the age (50+.) Was told I was in great shape. I've always exercised, taken a Calcium 600+ tablet, ate a lot of salads and made sure my estrogen level was good. It seems like exercise and the right amount of calcium are key factors...

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	I read an article today that 4 to 6 teaspoons of fresh ground flax spread out daily are also an excellent source for strong bones. Toni what you stated is absolutely correct as well.
