Bone Health Webinar on May 22nd

Posted by becleartoday @becleartoday, May 19, 2022

Women diagnosed with bronchiectasis tend to be older and thin. Because of this, and the use of steroids to decrease lung inflammation, many of us also have osteoporosis or osteopenia.

I have osteoporosis, or I should say, had it, so bone health is an issue that interests me. In 2017, after eighteen years of having osteopenia, I crossed over into osteoporosis. I was also diagnosed with bronchiectasis and a MAI lung infection at about the same time, so needless to say, that was a difficult year for me.

By slowly changing my exercise and diet, I have recently returned to my osteopenia diagnosis. We are talking about a small shift on a bell-shaped curve, yet, still, a reason to pat myself on the back (gently, of course.)

On Sunday, May 22nd, National Jewish Health nutrition expert, Michelle MacDonald will talk to us about bone health and I will be listening intently. Because, small changes over time make a difference.

How about joining me?

@becleartoday That should be a very good webinar. For anyone that can't make that specific time, the exact same info will be on the NTM Info and Research You Tube site, usually available 4-6 weeks later. They have a wide range of very educational videos. see:
