Osteoperosis: Exercise to the rescue

Hello Again,

When people think of exercise, chances are they think weightloss, muscles, and cardio.  What you're probably not thinking about is the positive effects it has on your bones.  The structural foundation of the human body. 

As we age our bodies begin to deteriorate (breakdown) and can become brittle and weak.  Now sometimes certain things are unavoidable and unfortunately we are not the "Man of Steel" (ie. Superman) so we're not impervious to disease, infection and other illnesses. 

This blog is directed more for the ladies, however, the gents can take something from this as well.  Osteoperosis is the deterioration of the bones causing them to become brittle and weak increasing the chances of breaks as we age.  Now, we can take an active roll in preventing and/or slowing the process of osteoperosis or we can just sit back and let it overcome us.  You Choose! 

Attached is a link to an Exercise and Osteoperosis webmd article I found very informative.  Take a look and then take action. 


Best wishes,
Derek
