![]() As a late night person, I should have guessed that staying up late and not getting enough sleep can undermine any efforts to build bones. Just doing a quick search on the internet confirmed that suspicion. Sleep deprivation can cause higher levels of cortisol, which has been shown to slow bone growth. So can other forms of stress. On that note, I will make this a short post and get some sleep! Here are a few of the articles I found on this topic: Cortisol and Bone Loss - A Woman's Health High cortisol causes bone loss - Natural News Research study -The role of stress-induced cortisol in the relationship between depression and decreased bone mineral density

For the video on the lower left, to skip the explanation and go right to the exercise, fast forward to 3 minutes.![]() Here is a poster from the Osteoporosis Institute that sums up a lot of great information about
treatments for bone health. Read the article with the details. Today was my weekly workout at our local BStrong4LIfe center at Ultimate ChiroCare. Progress has been steady after a brief period of correcting my form. You can see that in the leg press, the Biodensity machine makes it possible for me to press more than 10 times my body weight for 5 seconds. Over time, this has proven to increase bone density for others and I'm confident that the same will be true for me. Guest blogger Katie Hansen shares how to get calcium if you have dietary restrictions, such as dairy-free, gluten free, and meat-free.
The dilemma we face when trying to build bone is that the increasing load that is needed to be effective often leads to injuries and stresses the joints. Check out the resources page for links to research studies and more information about what kinds of exercise help build stronger bones and prevent fractures.
![]() Pictured here is a Biodensity machine at the office of Dr. Perry Cammisa, a chiropractor in Woodridge, IL and co-founder of B Strong 4 Life. After trying many forms of exercise to build my own bone density and continuing to see my DEXA scores trend down, I attended an informational seminar about B Strong 4 Life a few months ago. The principle is that using the Biodensity machine, a person can exert force many times greater than their body weight without stressing their joints. In fact, after about 10 weeks of participating in the program, I already have pushed more than 8 times my body weight in the leg press exercise. There's no way that I could do that with free weights or traditional machines at a gym. I am hopeful that continuing this program will lead to significant gains in bone density for me. That would be exciting! Meanwhile, one of my friends who also participates in the program said that her husband reversed his osteoporosis with this treatment. His testimonial is on video. |
