Frequently Asked Questions

Is running safe for women with osteoporosis?

High-impact activities should be approached with caution. Consult your physician, but often, brisk walking with a weighted vest is recommended as a safer, high-load alternative to running.

How does protein intake affect bone health?

Adequate protein is vital for bone matrix formation and muscle support, which protects the skeleton. Aim for high-quality protein sources at every meal to support bone remodeling.
