What you need to know about women and bone density

Four things you need to know about women and bone density

1. Starting exercise before the age of 35 increases peak bone mineral density and bone mass.

2. Exercise slows the loss of bone. According to new research, it’s possible to increase bone density post menopause.

3. Eating a high protein diet can help maintain good bone density.

4. The best exercises for improving bone density are high impact exercise, weight bearing moves and resistance training.
