WHOLE BODY VIBRATION

BY JAYNE WESLER

Most research supports positive effects from the use of whole body vibration plate machines on bone density in post menopausal women. But conflicting results still exist. However, it definitely increases balance which prevents falls and therefore fractures.

Exercise Prevents Bone Loss, Increases Strength

Exercise Prevents Bone Loss, Increases Strength

BY JAYNE WESLER

Regular exercise is important across our life span, and it prevents bone loss. It helps us develop as we grow. It regulates our weight. It helps maintain muscle mass and strength as we age. It brightens our mood. It gives us energy.

More than ever, post-menopausal women are discovering that weight lifting isn’t only for people like Arnold Schwarzenegger, or for the younger generations who want to learn how to prevent bone loss. More and more gray-haired ladies are pumping iron, and for very good reason. Here’s why:

  1. Maintain Weight. The older we get, the more muscle we lose, and then we tend to put on weight around the middle. Abdominal weight gain is often called heart attack weight because it increases the possibility of heart disease. Sticking to regular physical activity helps to maintain regular weight.
  2. Reduces Cancer Risk. Maintaining regular weight may help protect against a variety of cancers, including those of breast, colon, and endometrial cancers.
  3. Strengthens Bones. Regular exercise, including weight lifting, weight-bearing exercise like brisk walking and running, and some yoga, can slow post-menopausal bone loss and even build bone. This in turn lowers the risk of osteoporosis and fracture.
  4. Reduces Risk of Other Diseases. By maintaining regular weight, you will reduce your risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Regular exercise helps maintain regular weight.
  5. Mood Booster. Regular physical activity lowers your risk of depression and cognitive decline and prevents bone loss.

There are many different ways to prevent bone loss, but one of the most effective is through regular exercise. Exercise helps to keep bones healthy and strong by stimulating the production of new bone cells. Additionally, eating a healthy diet is important for keeping bones healthy. Foods that are rich in calcium and vitamin D are essential for maintaining bone density. Finally, getting enough sleep is crucial for overall health, and it can also help to protect bones from deterioration.

By following these simple tips, everyone can help keep their bones healthy and strong well into old age.

“Bone Loss After Menopause is Significantly Lower” Than Previously Believed

Bone Loss After Menopause is Significantly Lower” Than Previously Believed

BY JAYNE WESLER

Science Daily reported in late October 2021 that post-menopausal women lose less Bone Mineral Density

A 25-year study has recently revealed that bone loss in the femoral neck–that slender area that is most easily fractured–decreased by only an average of 10% over that same length of time.

Dubbed the Kuopio Osteoporosis Risk Factor and Prevention (OSTPRE) study, the research team followed 14,200 women between the ages of 47 and 56 who lived in the Kuopio region of eastern Finland. Additionally, 3,000 women participated in a randomized study in which they have their BMD measured every five years. This is an ongoing study which will continue to inform this area of women’s health.

And guess what?? One of the Associate Professors from the University of Eastern Finland, Joonas Sirola, reported that weight gain during the study protected against bone loss!

This is good news for so many of us who live under the threat of fracture and debilitation as we age.
