PS: Sorry, Mary, the other support group is healthunlocked, not unlimited.

And, if it gives you any encouragement, I’m 78 years old and I’m still very, very active. I play pickleball several times a week, go to the gym, walk my dog, do yoga, snowshoe, and cross country ski. I do believe you can improve your bone strength through diet and exercise. And maybe supplements, but make sure you have blood tests to see if you are deficient in any particular area. Supplements can be very dangerous. Calcium especially! Bond strength is much more important when you consider fracture risk, than bone density —in my opinion. Bottom line is: just don’t fall!

Great advice! I know most people run to calcium, but I've been told that while it increases bone density, I've been told the new bone is very fragile and still susceptible to fractures. I'm not familiar with the term bond strength, but will read up on it.

You sound like an amazing person - wishing you many more years of active fun!

How is calcium dangerous?? Thanks
