Musculoskeletal Health & Aging

Geri-athletes! Such a pleasure working out and then speaking to Bone Builders today about nutrition for musculoskeletal health & aging. 💪🏼This program provides weight bearing exercises for athletes 65 and older. 🔑

I was impressed with the dedication to their workouts and questions to better their health today. 
Thanks for inviting me (mom) to present my last Natural Sports Medicine presentation of 2018. 💚

Mineral support is key- so eliminating 🥤 soda which leaches calcium due to the phosphoric acid in cola products can be a game changer! Additionally, increasing potassium and magnesium from fruits & veggies can support bone density and decrease fracture risk. Recent studies demonstrate an increase of fruits and veggies supporting the bone health in elderly. 🍊🍐🍎🍠 {Tucker KL, Hannan MT, Chen H, et al.
