*Osteoporosis-Exercise to build strong bones

It is important to look after your bones as you age. Bones constantly form and reform throughout your life. It is important to build a “bank” of bone during childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood to better weather the bone losses later in life. During adulthood it is important to try to maintain bone by activities that help build bone. As you get older, falling and suffering bone fractures becomes more of a risk. The most common fracture areas are spine, hip and wrist.

The best way to build bones is to do weight bearing exercise. The best exercises are walking and weight lifting (even soup cans) for upper body strength. Exercise needs to be consistent. The “impact” of weight bearing exercise stimulates bones to maintain their strength. It is also important to work on balance activities to prevent falling.
