Episode Description

“The single thing that comes close to a magic bullet is exercise.” – Dr. Frank Hu, Epidemiologist, Harvard School of Public Health.

Many people are afraid of osteoporosis and aware of what that can mean.  Loss of balance and broken hips are a common story as we get older.  Margaret Martin has created a program to help build strength and bones!  Join us to hear how you can incorporate this into your own routine.

Dr. Risk’s Thoughts

Bone density is one of the most common fears people have about their health.  I was raised to think about my bone density and what I could do about it.  Aside from proper nutrition, we also need to be aware of the effects exercise has on our bone health.  Knowing that there is something we can do about the silent epidemic of bone loss and osteoporosis is encouraging.
