Exercise promotes bone strength in older people
By Better Health Research News Desk • Apr 24th, 2009 • Category: Bone strength, Health News, Health Resources News
A new report has found that exercise is an effective option for boosting bone strength and preventing falls among seniors.
The recommendation was made by Cochrane researchers based on a systematic review of the available evidence from 111 trials that included 55,303 older people.
The review found that exercise in that group improves strength, flexibility, balance and endurance.
In particular, exercise regimes such as supervised group workout, tai chi or individually prescribed exercise programs at home have been shown to yield benefits, according to lead researcher Lesley Gillespie from Dunedin School of Medicine at the University of Otago in New Zealand.
The scientists furthermore found evidence that falls were reduced by some other interventions, including gradual withdrawal from certain types of sleep medications, anxiety reduction and depression treatment, where applicable, as well as bringing forward cataract surgery on the first affected eye.
Health practitioners have also suggested using nutritional supplements containing vitamin D, in particular in those who live in the northern regions, as well as an alkaline diet as ways to promote bone health into old age.
Strengthen Your Bones—And Maintain Optimal Health—With ULTIMATE CALCIUM™!
New Scientific Discovery
Calcium is useless—unless it’s absorbable!
The metabolic bone center of the Tufts-New England Medical Center has stated more than 90 percent of American men and women older than 50 get TOO LITTLE CALCIUM from their diets.
In fact, if you’re a woman in your 50s—you’re probably getting LESS THAN HALF of the daily calcium you need!
That’s why health professionals recommend calcium supplementation. But there’s a HUGE problem with most calcium supplements: Your body can’t properly absorb them! If you can’t assimilate the calcium—you don’t get the health benefits.
That’s why you need ULTIMATE CALCIUM™—a unique formula that offers you…
…the RIGHT kind of calcium your body needs…
