Part 7 - Make No Bones About It—Busting Myths forStronger Bones 🦴
🔺 Taking calcium supplements can prevent osteoporosis.
🔺Truth:
Current research shows that calcium supplements offer little benefit in reducing fracture risk or promoting overall bone health. Meta-analyses indicate no significant impact on fracture prevention, and studies suggest minimal effects on hip fracture reduction. Instead, prioritize calcium-rich foods and weight-bearing exercises for stronger bones and better fracture
prevention.
Recent studies highlight another natural boost for bone health: anthocyanins. These compounds, found in colorful fruits like berries, black goji berries, and cherries, support bone health by promoting osteoblasts (cells that build bone) and inhibiting osteoclasts (cells that break down bone). This dual action can enhance bone density and help prevent conditions like osteoporosis.
