Evening Hello All
Congratulations on a Great Job in Meeting your Goals for the Month of July. I encourage you to keep pushing on for another successful month; let’s Finish Strong and Have a Successful Month of August! We can do it!
Hope to see you onboard as you Join me for the Month of August!
For the Month of August we will Focus On Bone Health. How to keep and Maintain
Healthy Bones for all Ages, how Diet and
Exercise play a Vital role for a Bone Healthily Lifestyle!
I have shared some pointers below that I found from the Mayo Clinic.
Why is bone health important?
Your bones are continuously changing — new bone is made and old bone is broken down. When you're young, your body makes new bone faster than it breaks down old bone, and your bone mass increases. Most people reach their peak bone mass around age 30. After that, bone remodeling continues, but you lose slightly more bone mass than you gain.
What affects bone health
A number of factors can affect bone health. For example: I have taken just a few pointers from a very long list: Hope they will be helpful.
* The amount of calcium in your diet. A diet low in calcium contributes to diminished bone density, early bone loss and an increased risk of fractures.
* Physical activity. People who are physically inactive have a higher risk of osteoporosis than do their more-active counterparts.
* Women: You're at greater risk of osteoporosis if you're a woman, because women have less bone tissue than do men.
* Size. You're at risk if you are extremely thin (with a body mass index of 19 or less) or have a small body frame because you might have less bone mass to draw from as you age.
* Age. Your bones become thinner and weaker as you age.
* Race and family history. You're at greatest risk of osteoporosis if you're white or of Asian descent. In addition, having a parent or sibling who has osteoporosis puts you at greater risk — especially if you also have a family history of fractures.
* Hormone levels. Too much thyroid hormone can cause bone loss.
* In women, bone loss increases dramatically at menopause due to dropping estrogen levels. Prolonged absence of menstruation (amenorrhea) before menopause also increases the risk of osteoporosis.
* In men, low testosterone levels can cause a loss of bone mass.
* Certain medications. Long-term use of corticosteroid medications, such as prednisone, cortisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone, is damaging to bone.
* Other drugs that might increase the risk of osteoporosis include aromatase inhibitors to treat breast cancer, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, methotrexate, some anti-seizure medications, such as phenytoin (Dilantin) and phenobarbital, and proton pump inhibitors.
What can I do to keep my bones healthy?
Include plenty of calcium in your diet. For adults ages 19 to 50 and men ages 51 to 70, the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is 1,000 milligrams (mg) of calcium a day.
The recommendation increases to 1,200 mg a day for women age 51 and older and for men age 71 and older.
Include physical activity in your daily routine. Weight-bearing exercises, such as walking, jogging, and climbing stairs, can help you build strong bones and slow bone loss.
A Tip: From the Mayo Clinic:
Develop strong bones. By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
So Strength Training is just as important as your Cardio Workouts which help keep both Muscles and Bones Healthy.
Enlist your doctor's help
If you're concerned about your bone health or your risk factors for osteoporosis, including a recent bone fracture, consult your doctor. He or she might recommend a bone density test.
The results will help your doctor gauge your bone density and determine your rate of bone loss. By evaluating this information and your risk factors, your doctor can assess whether you might be a candidate for medication to help slow bone loss.
Hope the above points have helped you understand more about your Bone Health.
Cheering you on for a great Month of August!
God’s Blessings

Welcome Back Lori and Linda
So glad you are joining me!
Sorry I didn’t back yesterday!
I am dealing with 2 heavy situations. Very difficult.
One of the issues is about a situation I found out about affects me as I ministered with this person. I can’t believe what I know has really happened. It has upset me so much it has made me sick spiritually and emotionally.
I need your prayers, thank you, will be back later today. It’s after Midnight and I need to get to bed!
God Bless, thank you for your understanding! 😊0 -
