Maintaining and optimizing bone health is vital as we age to reduce the risk of fractures, breaks, osteopenia and osteoporosis. Good bone health improves longevity and quality of life but there are many things that contribute to reduced bone mineral density.
DEXA scans are a great way to measure bone mineral density and see where you sit compared to the population average.
There are also many nutrients involved in optimizing bone mineral density by strengthening the bone matrix or production of collagen, important for bone formation.
This video discusses the causes of reduced bone mineral density and the nutrients required to maintain good bone health, which can help with dietary and supplemental interventions.
