May ; 87 5 If you want the latest news and tips to improve your health, let us know. John Neustadt. When it comes to skin damage, there are two major underlying causes. One is caused by decreased collagen production creating the typical lines and that comes with getting older. The other category of damage, which can contribute to acne, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis, is caused by chronic inflammation. In this situation, healthy cell turnover is disrupted, creating skin damage, redness and irritation.
Fortunately, natural approaches that promote skin health can help. Your gut contains a mind-boggling number of microorganisms. The human intestines is composed of ten trillion to one hundred trillion microorganisms. Its collective genome contains at least times as many genes as your genome, representing a total of species. The link between the gut microbiome and systemic health is irrefutable.

Can My Osteoporosis Be Reversed? The outer shell of your bones also gets thinner. All of this makes your bones weaker. Although osteoporosis can strike at any age, it is most common among older people, especially older women.
Men also have this disease. White and Asian women are most likely to have osteoporosis. Other women at great risk include those who:. The risk of osteoporosis grows as you get older. At the time of menopause, women may lose bone quickly for several years. After that, the loss slows down but continues. In men, the loss of bone mass is slower. But, by age 65 or 70, men and women are losing bone at the same rate. Whether your doctor calls it osteopenia or low bone mass, consider it a warning.
Bone loss has started, but you can still take action to keep your bones strong and maybe prevent osteoporosis later in life.
That way you will be less likely to break a wrist, hip, or vertebrae bone in your spine when you are older. For some people, the first sign of osteoporosis is to realize they are getting shorter or to break a bone easily.
You can have a bone density test to find out how strong your bones are. Hi, I am 50yrs old and have been diagnosed with Osteoporosis. My previous scan aged 40yrs old was normal. How can you help me with improving my BDM without medication? Margaret is unable to provide advice specific to your situation without an assessment.
Thanks for all the great info — I will revisit this later when I have time to do it justice. One major question I have — I understand that the jumping seems to be very effective, and also the weighted vest.
I also recently broke my sternum as a result of a pretty mild car accident from the seatbelt , which makes me wonder if my osteoporosis could have contributed to that. Thank you for this great article and your great book, Exercise for Better Bones. You have written that bicycling is not weight-bearing, and therefore not a good exercise for treating osteoporosis.
This makes sense, when one is seated and bicycling at an easy, low resistance. But what about spinning? I find it takes great thigh effort to bike when the bicycle is at a high resistance, especially when one bikes in a standing position, out of the saddle. Is the upright position on a bike, at a high resistance, not weight-bearing to some degree?
Thank you for this wonderful article. It was so helpful to actually see a chart comparing bone density scores rather than reading about percentages of bone loss from test to test! I have learned so much from you! I have your Better Bones book and do the excercises and recently bought and read your Yoga bone book. Thank you for showing an example of the jumping you were referring to. Most of all, thank you for giving easy to understand ideas that anyone can use and follow through with as far as exercises and nutrition.
This article gave me a lot of hope that I can do something for my bones myself! Hi Carol, I am glad you are asking such important questions. If your posture is good and you gradually increase the weight in the vest, allowing your spine time to strengthen then you should be fine to wear a weighted vest when doing your exercises such as those outlined in the study: squats, forward lunges, lateral lunges and step ups.
Assuming you are able to do these types of exercises without a weighted vest. If however, as you increase the weight you experience discomfort I would encourage you to consider a weighted belt. I do not think that jumping is a good option for you at this time.
Wishing you all the best, Margaret. Hi Colleen, I appreciate you taking the time to write such a supportive, positive comment. Richard is the one who puts everything together. He is glad to know that the charts were helpful in comparing bone density change over time. I am especially grateful that you received a sense of hope from the article. Start gradually and keep building. All the best, Margaret. Hi Jane, The effort you feel spinning when you feel you are using great thigh effort to bike when the bicycle is at a high resistance, especially when in a standing position out of the saddle is still not equivalent to a hard squat set.
If you were to compare the two: say you are averaging 80 RPM. You stand for 30 seconds during that time you complete 40 revolutions. This is equivalent to doing 40 squats with a high load.
To build bone the load should be high enough that you cannot complete more than 8 — 12 reps. We exercise for our heart and soul as well as our bones and muscles! Hope to see you on the trail one day! You will see in Exercise for Better Bones the exercises performed with dumbbells. As you get stronger the weighted vest is a good complement when you are challenged holding more weight you can wear it instead!
Keep well, Margaret. Thank you for this site that I stumbled on. I have osteoporosis, and I have to take Prednisone for another condition. Currently I am on 3. You mentioned jumping. I have pelvic floor issues though they are improving , and I have been jumping on a rebounder. Would that be as helpful? Thank you! Hi Rhea, Your welcome! I am glad you found us. Life is always a balancing act. Pain control is important. You have given me some hope again.
Seeing your blog and book has inspired me to try and manage it myself for a few years. Thank you for such a supportive and reasonable article. Hi Sue, You are welcome! I am glad it has brought you hope. I do have clients with scores like yours who have gradually built up by 0. Because your T-scores are in the low range, and you are only 56 yr old you are at a good age to consider hormone replacement HRT. This along with exercise will have a bigger impact. I cannot say if this is a safe option for you.
Hormones, exercise and good nutrition our the building blocks we have some control over. It sounds like you have the determination and many years ahead to make a change. All the best to you! This is Carol from the question above re weighted vests. I have just had an updated bone density done, and am alarmed at the results. The hip was just in the level of osteopenia, but the spine average T-score was I did see an endocrinologist as part of this program, and she is recommending some kind of medication, leaving it up to me to decide which one.
Am I actually crumbling? Should I be alarmed if I need to cough or sneeze? Can I still read in bed, slouching against the pile of pillows, or is that making things worse? Any advice you can give will be gratefully received…. I found your site and am so thankful. How do you decide what to take? And, recently, a new franchise OsteoStrong moved into our area.
Do you have any advice on whether that works? Hi Susan. If you have been diagnosed in the early stage of osteoporosis, we recommend that you consult with a licensed and qualified health care professional.
You can check with Physical Therapists in your area for someone. You should discuss a pharmaceutical intervention strategy with your physician. Margaret wrote this article on Prolia so that her clients could have an informed discussion with their physician.
I encourage you to read it. Hi Margaret, I enjoyed reading your article and subscribed to your exercise program. I have been very active throughout my life and was very surprised to find out that I have osteopenia.
I am 54 years old and recently had a DXA test. My bone density shows osteopenia on my spine. My T-score is Both of my hips are fine I will be seeking out Physical Therapy and meet with my doctor to see what she has to say.
My mom and her sister have osteoporosis. I am have been taking Tamoxifen for the last 2 years and am wondering if this is related. Thank you!!
