Increasing bone density naturally after menopause

@asegura and all - I'm interested in this discussion, cause last winter I fell on black ice on my own sidewalk and broke my pelvis in two places. Embarrassing, but true. My doctor sent me for a bone scan, saying it was quite unusual for someone my age to break a bone falling from standing height. Turns out I have mild osteopenia. I'd like to keep it to that, at worst.
@contentandwell - I was also told to eat more calcium-rich food and make sure to take calcium pills. My 7th grader now regularly reminds me I need to drink milk. 😊

@lisalucier Hi Lisa I'm sorry to hear about your fracture of the pelvis. I too have osteopenia for along time last bone density showed my bones getting thinner in my left hip. Dr. ask me to go on a liquid calcium as it gets absorbed quicker then pills I found bone Meal powder from Amazon it has calcium,mag,phosphorus all from bone meal I already take Vit D3 5000 mg. I don't know if its my imagination or not but how it use to hurt when I slept on that side it doesn't anymore. wont know for 2 yrs though if it has helped . I still drink milk,yogurt and all other calcium foods.

@lisalucier I am taking calcium pills, that have vitamin D in them. Vitamin D is supposed to be essential for the calcium to get absorbed. I probably should try to eat more dairy too. I plan to change my exercise routine to include exercises that help to strengthen bones.
