How to Build Bone Health at 50, 60, 70 and Beyond!
Bone Health Tips for Boomers
1.Get Enough Sunshine.
Sunshine provides your body with Vitamin D, a crucial nutrient for bone health. Experts recommend 10-30 minutes of midday sunlight a few times a week [1].
2. Regularly Exercise
Getting regular exercise will help you to prevent bone loss as you age [2]. Like muscle, bone is living tissue that becomes stronger through exercise. Weight-bearing exercises are the best for building stronger bones; they include activities such as walking, hiking, climbing stairs, and playing tennis [3]
3. Eat Enough Protein
Protein plays an important role in the development and maintenance of bone tissue. Research shows that higher protein diets lead to increased bone mineral density [4].
4. Say "No" To Cola (and other Caffeinated Drinks)
Research has found that cola can have negative impact on your bone health. Researchers speculate this is due to caffeine content [5]. If you consume a large amount of caffeine regularly, consider a reducing your intake to a moderate amount of no more than 18 ounces a day (i.e. two cups of coffee a day).
5. Get Enough of This Vital Nutrient (and no, it's not Calcium...)
The most important nutrient for bone health is Vitamin K2. This crucial vitamin tells your body how to utilize Calcium and Vitamin D. Without K2, Calcium and other bone building nutrients can stay in you bloodstream and lead to mineral buildup. Read more about Vitamin K2 below....
Vitamin k2, TheKEY Nutrient For Bone Health.
Vitamin K2 is a crucial nutrient that your body needs to help lay down new bone tissue. Its role is to move calcium from your bloodstream to your bones. This has two effects: 1) it helps to maintain normal arterial flexibility and blood flow, and 2) it helps to support bone mineral density and strength [6]
Most Americans tend to be deficient in Vitamin K2, this is due to the fact that it's found in only a few natural food forms, such as fermented dairy products (like brie cheese), goose liver, and in fermented soy beans (i.e. natto, a traditional Japanese dish) [7].
If you don't regularly eat these foods, you may be at risk for weakened bones. An easy way to remedy this is by taking a Vitamin K2 supplement. Taking a daily supplement can provide you with all of the K2 that your body needs to make stronger, more resilient bones (and to support healthy arteries).
Keep in mind, you can build strong bones even as you age. The human body is an amazing piece of machinery, if you give it the right raw materials, it will continue to re-build itself!
HOWEVER, NOT ALL VITAMIN K2 SUPPLEMENTS ARE THE SAME....
Many K2 products that you will find at your local big box store are made with a cheap, ineffective form of Vitamin K2 known as MK-4 (menatetrenon-4). Research has shown that the MK-4 form of Vitamin K2 is poorly absorbed by your body, lasting only 8 hours in your bloodstream [8].
With the cheap form of K2 (labeled as "MK-4"), you might as well be throwing your money away...
The best type of K2 is the MK-7 form (menaquinone-7), which is absorbed more slowly by your body (it lasts 72+ hours in your bloodstream). This long release allows you to get the most benefit out of your K2 supplement.
The best supplier of the MK-7 form of Vitamin K2 is NattoPharma, the worldwide leader in Vitamin K2 research and development. After years of research, the team at NattoPharma created MenaQ7®, the most researched and proven form of Vitamin K2.
A landmark 2013 double-blind, placebo controlled study of 244 healthy post-menopausal women showed that supplementing daily with 180mcg MenaQ7® improved bone mineral density and strengthas compared to the placebo group [9].
MenaQ7® has been clinically tested and proven to support stronger bones.
