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

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. πŸ’š

Mineral support is key- so eliminating πŸ₯€ 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.
