May I suggest that Vitamin D should always be taken in conjunction with vitamin K….specifically K3 and D2. Research the companies for the most reliable brands. I use Pure Encapsulations which I get online directly from the company (they do not authorize any third party sellers like Amazon).

I don’t take calcium but I do eat a lot of leafy greens and happen to like milk and yogurt. I also walk daily…at least 2miles…jog a little in spurts… and attend 3 senior exercise classes a week. I refuse to take any medications. My last dexa scores did drop slightly but haven’t worsened over the years since my first dexascan so many years ago.

Also make sure you return to the same facility for your scans as these machines are all different. I use the scores as a guide not as a definitive result.
I am 82 and have good balance which is one of the main goals of my gym classes. My 83 old gym instructor doesn’t want any of us falling.

So, exercise, diet, those 2 vitamins, good walking shoes, keeping active. Use some weights at home and please don’t sit for any long period of time. You can incorporate exercise and stretching in all you do. Don’t let inclement weather stop you. I happen to live in Florida (hate the humidity) but go out walking around 6:30 to beat the heat.

To paraphrase a song…Don’t let the old lady in….
