I agree with the others on the AI that it’s less than perfect. You have to wait through too much information and it’s missing some context. To answer the question simply put “resistance exercises” (in the old days we used to call these isometric exercises). . Also good old fashion, walking as it pounds the nutrients into your bones.
Be really careful on the supplements! If you eat a good diet, a relatively un processed foods your body gets what it needs when it’s younger, but when it’s older, it doesn’t absorb the nutrition as well and good supplements for your gender may be wise. However, our bodies can be unique when it comes to deficiency. It is helpful if you can do some intercellular lab testing that identifies which nutrients your body might not be processing well. It is super important to know that too much vitamin D or calcium can be a real problem. We have long touted that women need extra calcium, but it’s not necessarily true and too much calcium deposits on heart arteries and is bad for some people who have heart artery disease. In addition, the AI totally misses the importance of hormones. One body needs hormones to get those nutrients and after exercise two muscles and bones. It is probably why women are incredibly prone to osteoporosis after menopause. The nutrition does little if the hormones aren’t present to get them where they need to go. DEXA scans can be informative however they only provide general information and can’t be entirely relied upon as I found out having DEXA’s every year for 25 years. If you can find a place that does a DEXA scan and uses TBS software (trebicular bone scoring.) sorry for the misspelling.- you will have a MUCH more accurate bone score from year to year.. knowing that bones are not created equally in your body is important. I was diagnosed as normal from osteopenic and that turned out to be only true on my wrists. My cervical spine C5 fell apart in the doctor’s hand during surgery. The screws moved because the adjacent bone was not strong enough to hold the hardware and I had to have another cervical spine surgery right away. Because I will have more surgery as I age because of my degenerative condition it is mandatory that I maintain my body so that I qualify for any future surgeries. I am 68 and the quality of my bones will be determined when I’m 78 if I am eligible for surgery. Therefore, I have decided on the bone medicines TYMLOS and RECLAST, and bioidentical transdermalHRT. Along with exercise, nutrition and appropriate supplements. my follow up testing has been extremely rewarding and I am now trending in the right direction in order to have good bone health. This all takes a lot of time to research and is pretty overwhelming to start, but once you get going it fades into the background. I can absolutely say that this online forum has been critical for information and support. Good luck to everyone.
