#137 Osteoporosis vs Osteoarthritis: The Importance Of Bone Health Over 50
After 30, we start to lose and break down more bone in our bodies than we can build back. Eventually, we start to feel the wear and tear that this process has had on us, and we can experience joint pain. This can happen especially when we do activities that include a repetitive motion we may have done for years (ex: golfing, gardening, typing, etc.).
We may all feel the effects of this inevitably as we get older, so I always advise taking proactive measures rather than reactive measures. However, sometimes with an active lifestyle, it can be hard to avoid wear and tear in your body over time. I know because I have actually been diagnosed with arthritis myself. I make sure to modify my lifestyle and habits to help me retain my bone strength, which eases my pain and keeps me more active for longer.
Today I'll talk about just why it is so imperative that we take actions to keep our bones healthy and strong, what Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis are, and what specific actions you can take to prevent these conditions from affecting you. Plus some videos for you to get started with the right exercise for your condition.
