Description

Dairy can actually hurt your bones and swallowing a bunch of calcium pills is not the answer. And guys, osteoporosis is not just something that happens to women. In this podcast, I'll talk about why dietary calcium is just a small part of the overall-bone picture, and why easy shifts can boost your bone health. I'll tell you about the key vitamin that helps you optimize calcium (and why you need to probably supplement). Oh, and while you don't want psychological stress, you need to stress your bones to make them stronger (I know, it sounds counterintuitive). I'll talk about the very best exercise to maintain healthy bones at any age. Gut health? It matters more than you might think for strong, supple bones. I'll share the one thing you want and the one thing you want to ditch in your diet for bone health. Trust me, you don't want the first sign of weak bones to be a broken hip! Armed with this easy-to-apply information, you'll have everything you need to maintain great bones - and great health - no matter what decade of your life.
