The material that makes up your bones today is being constantly eroded away and replaced by fresh new bone! Next year you will have all new bone material! This is a natural attempt of the body to maximize bone strength, and requires ongoing personal vigilance and attention to detail. Unfortunately, most of us do not provide enough building blocks — calcium and vitamin D, and weight bearing exercise — and the body fails at providing good strong bone replacement tissue, especially in the spine and hips. By age 60, 1 out of every 9 women has a fractured vertebra in the spine!! Once that happens, there is a much-increased risk of a second, third, and fourth spinal fracture. It is critical to prevent bone thinning throughout life starting in the teenage years. It is critical to recognize those of us who have developed thin bones before one starts to collapse vertebrae, fracture wrists and ankles and hips! The painless study of the density of your bones (the bone densitometry) enables you to know where you stand! Diet, exercise, supplements, medications, and postural training are all valuable in protecting your bones.
