Benefits of Exercise for Bones



Benefits of Exercise for Bones::----->>>

Regular exercise can help protect you from heart disease and stroke, high blood pressure, noninsulin-dependent diabetes, obesity, back pain, osteoporosis, and can improve your mood and help you to better manage stress.

Regular exercise also helps increase balance and coordination and reduces the risk of falls and subsequent fractures. Posture exercises can help prevent or reduce the slumping posture often associated with osteoporosis.

Exercise is critical for strong muscles and bones. Muscle strength declines as people age, but when people exercise they are stronger and leaner than others in their age group. Exercise also helps kids lower their risk of chronic pain in the future.

Exercise has been shown to increase bone strength, as measured by bone mineral density (BMD), in people of all age groups. The degree to which bone strength improves, however, is dependent on a variety of factors, including age, reproductive hormone status, nutritional status, and the nature of the exercise.

Benefits of regular exercise:

slows the loss of muscle mass
strengthens bones
reduces joint and muscle pain
relieves joint stiffness
improves mobility and balance
Be Careful:-

If you have a health condition or are new to exercise, check with your doctor before starting a new exercise routine.

Even if you start exercising late in life, you can still build strong, healthy bones, which are essential for avoiding injury and in preventing osteoporosis. It is never too late to start exercising to strengthen your bones, because even late in life bone density has been shown to be increased by weight-bearing exercises. Osteoporosis is caused through low bone mass, which makes bones brittle and easy to fracture.
