Hi,
All the suggestions here are in the right direction. I have been exercising weight training, gym going, walking, eating bone nutrient foods, using the k2 D3 supplements along with other daily supplements for nearly
8 years since I retired. I still have Osteoporosis but it has not progressed and may be a little lower than the last exam I had many years ago. I was also on osteoporosis meds for many years.
It is important to mention that you should get the bone scan test at the same facility ,if you do so on a regular basis ,as various facilities may have different standards and different instruments that can result in different values. Also the skill of the tech doing the scan can vary. So the results are of course not 100% accurate but a guideline .
The most valuable results about all this exercise and diet, aside from increasing bone growth is that it increases your balance capacities.
The last thing we want to do is fall. And if we do fall, we should be strong enough to get up off the ground by ourselves. Balance exercises are an important part of my gym classes.
Aside from all this...this is a wonderful way to approach life on a daily basis...good nutritious food and exercise promotes a healthy strong body and mind and great energy no matter what your reason is . And the bone strong diet is not really a diet..it is a sensible life saving choice of food geared to whatever your goals are.
Kudos to all you Amazons out there
