Episode notes
Bone Remodeling Shifts in 30s
- By our 30s, bones have reached peak mass, but preservation becomes key.
- Bone remodeling slows, and breakdown starts to outpace rebuilding, causing subtle bone loss.
Exercise for Bone Density
- Engage in regular weight-bearing and resistance exercises like walking and strength training.
- Consistency in moderate activity, not intensity, helps maintain bone density.
Use Non-Exercise Activity
- Increase daily movement through non-exercise activity like walking, gardening, and taking stairs.
- These small bouts provide consistent stimulus to bones and muscles for preservation.
