Has anyone improved bone density without meds?

I agree with you about the 12 poses not being for everyone. What I’ve done is adapt the poses for chair use as much as possible. Somewhere I’ve read (don’t ask where but it was from a trusted site because that’s all I read, ie Mayo, Harvard, Cleveland Clinic) that holding the pose for 40 seconds is what makes it effective. So thats what I do. It’s the muscle contraction that is sending the message to the bone to rebuild, put simply. Have you tried isometric exercise? I dont do weight lifting because of arthritis in my hands and wrist.

If you search on YouTube for Fishman yoga in chair, there are multiple sites showing the poses. Also Dr Fishman has videos where he addresses the length of time to hold (at least 30 seconds.. no less)… also he had no idea if any one exercise is “the one”, but his research shows the system works if done AT THE VERY LEAST every other day.
I thought I could no more do some of those poses than fly…BUT here we are 6 months later and I am shocked!
Inflammation is so depressing.. I would get so so sad … but increasing my protein, eliminating ALL highly processed food especially added sugar and alcohol.. I have really improved my arthritis pain. It is letting me really do strength work (slowly).. but at least it is something!
Any video by Dr Robert Lustig about sugar ( in your diet snd the animals we eat) was eye opening and changed my direction. I credit the changes with over all gains. They are worth your time.
Blessings….
