Bone Health & Osteoporosis

Bone is living tissue that is constantly rebuilt. From about the mid-thirties, and faster after menopause, it is broken down quicker than it is replaced. There are no symptoms until something fractures, which is why it is worth attention long before then.

What actually helps
  • Calcium from food first, with a supplement making up whatever the diet does not.
  • Vitamin D, without which calcium is barely absorbed.
  • Weight-bearing exercise — walking, stairs, resistance work — which signals bone to rebuild.
  • Stopping smoking and moderating alcohol, both of which measurably thin bone.
