I’m sorry, but there is no evidence/science that fat helps your bones. It goes against academic foundational science, health andcommon sense. When people get past middle age, they lose the ability to maintain their bones the way they did in the earlier parts of their life. Hormones are required and play a very significant part in getting what is needed to get to the bones. There are two processes involved in bone breakdown. One is the ability to turn over the bon cells and the other requires making them denser.. Much of this is also dependent on your genetics. In addition, what you eat does not directly impact bone quality, your body regulates what it needs to do and you can’t control it through diet alone. Of course, we advocate for the most nutritional diet you can get.
I would proffer that any kind of unnecessary fat is detrimental to health, guided best buy a credentialed doctor or osteopath.
Most of us here have found that our bellies have gotten fatter with the medication use. I wish people hung around to tell us what happens when they finish. Are they able to get their belly back to normal? .
Medicines always have some kind of side effect to go along with them. Not taking the medicine is a risk. Not taking the medicine and falling is a risk. Visceral fat is a risk, especially if it is left to start depositing itself around organs like liver and heart.
Unfortunately, I think the pharmaceutical company is dishonest about the belly fat. Because if us women knew in advance we would be hesitant to take the medicine. I hate what has happened to my waistline, but common sense tells me I would hate fracturing my shoulder if I fell worse!
