Many of us fail to pay attention to our bones, especially during our younger years. However, this is a mistake because our independence, mobility, and general quality of life may be drastically impacted by the condition of our bones. The best way to promote healthy bones throughout your life and into your golden years is to take preventative steps by starting early and remaining consistent as you grow and develop. Osteoporosis, a disease that results in a loss of density in a person’s bone tissue, is a major concern for people with poor bone health. It’s so important to learn about the various measures you should take at each stage of life to strive for optimal bone health.
Plowing Through on All Fronts With Gratitude
It’s fair to say that I’ve been a rule follower most of my life. I am an oldest child, after all. I’ve always valued and safeguarded my health, making sure that I eat healthy food and get lots of my favorite exercise -- like hiking, yoga, swimming, and cycling. I have been grateful for good health. So, I was dumbfounded to learn at age 61 that I had quite serious osteoporosis.
