How To Increase Bone Density

This is another story from John Wiley and Sons, "Feed Your Genes Right". It is about a lady named Sandy, 55, who was diagnosed with osteoporosis. She had two falls and fractured bones and later on fractured her wrist. 1000mg of calcium and 400 IU of Vitamin D did help.

"Her physician recommended three steps.He increased Sandy’s
vitamin D intake to 2,000 IU daily. He suggested that she spend
fifteen to thirty minutes a day walking in the sun, which would
help her body make its own vitamin D. He also recommended
that Sandy begin some moderate weight training, because resistance
exercise increases bone density.
Two years later bone scans have shown an increase in
Sandy’s bone density. In addition, despite her heightened level of
activity, she has not experienced any additional fractures."

I emailed this to my 61 year old sister who has osteoporosis and she has sinced upped her Vitamin D, started walking more and is weight training. She will tell me the results of her next bone test and I will let you know. Hopefully it won't take 2 years to hear back from me. Lol.
