Great video.👍 Vitamin D daily intake is definitely one to discuss further with a doctor. As it depends on factors such as latitude, skin tone, and age. Also there’s research that shows it reduces risk of some respiratory diseases - which is important in current context.

Good morning therapists, thank you for your much needed help.

Don't wait until age 61 and well after menopause when it is very difficult to build bone. The fact they are not testing osteoporosis until age 65 is a travesty in women's health!

You would find that these exercises being cardio also help ease any depression if you may suffer from the that. Lifting weights is great for upper body, but bone health is determined in the lumbar spine, and hips. If you do leg presses, it could help.

Skipping should be a great exercise for bone remodelling. If you are doing weight training, that could be good too depending on how you are doing it. Would suggest getting to the doctor … bone loss is definitely happening just because of your age, but the pain could be arthritis or other problem. Doctor should help with the diagnosis. However, you might also be overdoing the exercise. Would suggest a qualified physical therapist to monitor your exercise program once you’ve seen a doctor to try to work out if there’s another problem.

My physican placed me on 50,000 IUs of Vitamin D once a week for 8 weeks after a bone density test. I have been low on Vitamin D for several years.

And no, I was not on the Fad band wagon. It came as a complete shock. You can be on a huge dose like your doctor gave you for a short time, but you should be on a lower daily dose after that at around 1000IUs. What he said is that too much D can make your bones brittle. I will have to check out the research on that one.

A word of advice from a 67yo with Osteopenia. It's not a good idea to down a lot of Calcium like you're doing! It can build up in your arteries and give you heart problems or a stroke. You need to get the calcium through the food you eat. That's the safest way. There's different kinds of calcium. Calcium Carbonate is common & difficult to digest and absorb. Calcium Citrate is better but, again you need the proper foods--not heavy dose pills. Vitamin D, a fat soluble vitamin builds up in your body & too much can be a problem. You don't say how much you take. 2000IU/day should be enough. More than that a day you may be playing with fire. As far as exercise to ward off bone loss disease, you need weight-bearing exercise like walking up a hill, jogging, weight lifting. There are lots of exercises that don't build bone. Do some research. Lots of us as we get older are suffering from fractures, pain, and severe side effects in case you think taking osteoporosis drugs are helpful. They are a nightmare!! Take better care of yourself now. It pays off later. Believe me.

Thanks and God Bless!

I was dairy free for pat 13 years and low dairy since my mid 30's. Ate tons of veg--organic whole food since 30-- of various kinds. High plant based/meditteranean gf/df past 13 years. Exercised daily since mid 30's/walked and added yoga 13 years ago. More sedentary than average due to fibro, but exercised every day. Diagnosed at age 61. Get your bones tested at 50!

Do Ardis says to use 5,000 - 10,000 mcg. He says that you can't take too much.

What about MK7

Is rebounding and pilates reformer exercising good for rebuilding bones?

Pilates reformer is brilliant …. IF you have sufficient resistance. Must have a pilates trainer specialising in osteoporosis. Rebounding is a good cardio exercise but not sufficient to stimulate bone remodelling. Swimming and walking are the same … good exercises but not sufficient for bone improvement in people with osteopenia or osteoporosis.

This is great info. I took calcium which caused kidney stones weeks before I had a surgery. I ended up getting kidney stones and shingles not long after that from extreme stress on my body. I was recently tested and have bone loss. Can you please suggest a good brand of these vitamins I was told to take vitamin d3 calcium and k but I want bio degradable. Thank You 😊! I

Get your calcium through food and not pills. Ask your doctor, but what they told me is that dietary calcium is not as likely to cause kidney stones. Ask about it.

Were you saying E or D for 1000?

Our friendly neighborhood pharmacist seems to be a little bit behind the times. They are now recommending less calcium for women because that can drive heart attacks because the calcium does not get into the bone but stays in the blood. So for women they're now saying 500 mg a day in a capsule and then plus food of course. He also did not mention boron at all which surprised me. One of the things about K2 is that it does definitely help vitamin d get calcium into the bones but as he said you have to be careful depending on what drugs you're taking and what your personal genetics are.

Was thinking same thing. I was staying away from calcium supplements, but now my dr. told me to take 500mg a day. I take Boron daily also.

I think he is sometimes way off. He really said that 15 minutes outside is worth 49 days of vitamin D. This can't be serious. And if you take a certain dosis of vitamin D, this doesn't mean that the same dosis ends up in your blood. The real level in your body is important.

I've always wondered about the resistance exercises. I walk, occasionally run, my leg bones are probably made of concrete by now. But do those same excercises do anything to prevent a wrist fracture?

Walking is a great exercise for cardio and mental health. It will not improve bone density because it does not cause sufficient “stress” to the bone to initiate osteoblast activity. Exercise must be strong weight bearing … running, jumping, resistance training or weight training. As these types of exercises are potentially dangerous for people with osteoporosis, you MUST be supervised by a qualified physical therapist so that you can progress safely. Pole walking does give some benefit for bone building especially in the arms.

@@powerinbeing4912 I’m not qualified to answer that. All I know is what I have read in research papers and seen on videos, lectures and interviews with qualified people - both medical and allied health. Rebuilding bones requires the osteoblasts to be activated - this can be done by taking the drugs, but there are side effects (some serious). Studies show that bone responds to stress placed on it. In the case of someone with weak bone, though, too much stress may cause a fracture so that is why you MUST get advice from a suitably trained physical therapist who understands how to build up towards increasing weight/resistance. Impact and forward flexion exercises or movements are potentially really dangerous - qualified people understand how to develop a safe program for people with osteoporosis. If you are interested, research is being done in AUstralia by Prof. Belinda Beck, who started the Bone Clinic (you can Google this) in Queensland, Australia following her LIFTMOR study which was based on clinical trials of specific challenging weight bearing exercises to improve bone density. I would recommend checking out that information. Exercise must challenge the bone to stimulate osteoblasts which remodel bone. Walking, swimming and cycling are good general exercise but don’t build bone. Running might be better BUT might be too dangerous for someone with weak bones. Dr Clinton RUbin has also been working on stimulation of cells to increase osteoblast activity and has developed Low Intensity VIbration Machine (not whole body vibration plates which are different) which has shown good outcomes for bone cell stimulation. You can google both these people to find out more. Weight work, some yoga and pilates exercises and body weight exercises such as squats, lunges, etc are ways to build bone density - but - the underlying cause of bone loss must be investigated by a doctor, and dietary insufficiencies addressed. As well, posture and balance exercises are needed to aid in fall prevention.

Is 5000 of Vitamin D3 too much for a 71 year woman? I was recommended to take that because of my age.

Confusing - my calcium is 11 - I have osteoporosis

k2--learn more about it. It's very different from k1
