A while back, there was a thread about skiing with osteopenia/osteoporosis . It’s probably an issue for many Divas who are over 50, whether they know it or not. Been learning a lot recently about ways to increase bone density and wanted to share info because the topic is important for women of any age. Some of the questions I started with include:
Oh, in case anyone is worried . . . from what I’ve found so far, there is more reason to keep skiing than to stay off the slopes.
- What exactly is osteopenia/osteoporosis? What’s the difference?
- Taking supplements for add calcium and Vitamin D is obviously a good idea, but how much?
- What exercises would help decrease bone loss? Can new bone be created?
