Bone Health and Injury Prevention

Abr 2, 2018

You’re never too young or too old to start considering bone health. As we grow older, we often begin to think about particular health concerns like osteoporosis or arthritis. But maintaining a healthy skeletal system requires a set plan of action that starts as early as possible to prevent various orthopedic injuries. Bone loss takes place when the body absorbs too much calcium and phosphate from your bones. To prevent this from happening, consider the following tips that highlight how you can maintain your bone density.

Bone Health Tips

 

  • Maintain A Healthy Diet: There are plenty of foods that help support healthy bones and are easily accessible to consumers throughout the greater Atlanta region. Consuming foods that have a high concentration of calcium is one of the most effective ways to improve your bone strength. The next time you head to the grocery store, make sure to add the following items to your basket: Whole milk, cheese, broccoli, kale, beans, and Vitamin D supplements.

 

  • Exercise Often: An active lifestyle is a great way to prevent various bone conditions or degenerative diseases from occurring. Exercises such as walking, running, swimming, yoga, and pilates are all excellent ways to develop a strong core and reduce the risk of spine injuries.

 

  • Avoid Tobacco Products and Limit Alcohol Intake: Tobacco products can reduce bone density and alcohol can diminish your body’s ability to absorb calcium. If you are an avid smoker, speak with your doctor about medications and techniques that can help you quit.

 

  • Connect With Your Orthopedic Doctor: One of the most important things you can do to maintain healthy bones is to connect with your orthopedic doctor on a regular basis. Be transparent with your lifestyle and follow through with their recommendations so that, together, you can make the best decisions for your long-term health.
