Reversing Osteoporosis

The Bradenton Herald recently did a story entitled, "Weight-Bearing Exercise Replishes Bone Loss". It is an excellent story about how Laurie Cohen began fighting off osteoporosis at the age of 50 after having a bone scan. She began walking and taking Actonel to fight it off, with minimal success. But when she began working with a personal trainer and lifting weights, something amazing happened.

'Cohen's bone density had increased 4.4 percent in less than a year, an improvement that Dr. Kathy Diemer calls "impressive."'

She didn't lift heavy weights, in fact she wasn't using any weights over 12 pounds, but the exercise was enough to see a significant impact on her bone density.

There is never an age where it is "too late" to change your body. Never give up on yourself.
