Join Dr. Jill Valerius and host Lee Henrikson as they conclude a 3-part discussion on keeping healthy bones.
Proper exercise is integral to maintaining good health. Particularly for osteoporosis prevention, the right type of exercise matters. Exercise that includes weight bearing and resistance helps to load the axial spine, or the cervical, thoracic and lumbar areas of the spine, to increase bone mineral density. This can be accomplished by weight lifting, walking with a weighted vest or small backpack and using resistance bands.
