Half of all adults over 50 will face this risk

We just came across some info that made us do a double-take…

Did you know that one in two women and up to one in four men will break a bone in their lifetime due to osteoporosis?!!!

Not only that...but HALF of all adults age 50 and older are at risk of breaking a bone due to poor bone health.

Even though those worries might seem a long way off, what you do TODAY can have a big impact on your bone health.

Here are some key things you can do to help you stay strong and independent as you get older...

Get enough calcium and vitamin D: Talk to your healthcare provider about ways to make sure you get enough daily.

Strength train regularly: Make muscle-strengthening and weight-bearing exercise a non-negotiable. A minimum of two resistance training workouts a week is recommended.

Don’t smoke and DO limit alcohol intake: Both can lead to bone loss.

Ask your healthcare provider: They can give you info about your risk of getting osteoporosis, and guide you when it comes to getting a bone density test.

If you want help in building healthy habits that support your bones (and the rest of your body, too!), 1 on 1 or 1 to 5 personal training in College Station may be a great fit!
