Mindsip insights from this episode:
Combine running, jumping, and resistance training for optimal bone health
Subjecting bones to both external loads from running and jumping and internal loads from resistance training appears to work best.
Maximize bone health in your 20s to prevent decline
You reach the peak amount of bone mass that you'll ever have sometime in your 20s, after which it starts to decline.
Reconsider DEXA scans for men due to insufficient evidence
The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force concluded there is not enough evidence to give a clear recommendation for bone density screening in men.
Utilize D3 and K2 synergy for optimal calcium absorption and bone health
Vitamin D3 helps absorb calcium from food, while Vitamin K2 helps to direct that calcium to your bones.
Recognize hip fracture risks to improve survival chances
One in three people who break their hip will be dead within one year, and after 10 years, only 8.5% will be alive.
Reconsider calcium supplements for fracture risk management
Randomized control trials with the lowest risk of bias found that calcium supplements didn't seem to help at all with fracture risk.
Incorporate exercise to reverse bone loss in women
An earlier meta-analysis concluded that exercise could prevent or reverse nearly 1% of bone loss per year in women.
