Strong Bones
Three Ways to Address Bone Density Loss

Strong bones are essential for your long term health and wellbeing. Unfortunately many people have their lives cut short prematurely due to bone fractures from a fall and the flow on complications from surgery etc.

You therefore owe it to yourself to be aware of the importance of building strong bones and maintaining a regime throughout life that will help keep them that way.

Time taken now to take care of your skeletal system will help you maintain an active, independent life for the years to come.

The most important truth to keep in mind when considering options to improve the density of your bones is that just taking extra calcium on its own is NOT the answer.

If you do not address all the other issues which contribute to weakened bones, taking the extra calcium may do you more harm than good.

If you have general nutrient deficiencies, your body will not only not absorb the additional calcium but will continue to pull calcium from your bones to distribute to other organs and cells.

For example, you may have high homocysteine which causes inflammation and bone loss. Calcium alone will not fix that. For example, you may be deficient in Vitamin D, or Boron, or Strontium, or Vitamin K2. Without any of these key ingredients your body will not absorb any extra calcium you give it.

There are three ways to address bone density loss, and/or brittle bones. These are all natural and are really the only solutions. No drug can really provide the solution.

#1. Carefully review your diet. Ensure that it is balanced and contains plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. Also your diet should be, as much as possible, free from processed foods and refined carbohydrates.

#2. Exercise your bones. Just going for a walk, although good is not enough. You must give your bones some resistant exercise...that means weights! No matter what your age is your bones will respond. There is ample evidence that this works for everyone...even if you are 90 years old. It is never too late to start.

#3. Top up your diet with good supplementation. There are some recommendations in the next section.

Prevention and Maintainence

Xtend-Life has an excellent formula to help build strong bones called Bone-Protec. If you have already been diagnosed with Osteoporosis then this is a good option for you as it has a generous amount of calcium present, plus all the key factors needed for calcium uptake by your bones.

However, if you are like most people and don't have an immediate problem and want to do everything you can to avoid a future one, then you would be best advised to take one of the Xtend-Life formula's Total Balance along with the Omega 3/DHA Fish Oil Esters. These products will help your body build new bone and prevent the loss of calcium as well as reducing inflammation.
