Excessive Weight Loss Accelerates Osteoporosis

We all want to lose weight and get healthy, but sometimes excessive weight loss can cause unforeseen consequences – such as osteoporosis.

Excessive weight loss accelerates bone loss, which leads to osteoporosis. In order to help protect your bones, fitness and nutrition experts recommend that new exercisers develop a nutrition and exercise routine to help build bone health. One of the most important components to a bone healthy routine is weight-bearing exercise. Brisk walking, running, and weight lifting can help preserve bone density and delay or reverse the negative effects of osteoporosis.

Incorporating exercises that strengthen and tone the key muscles around joints can also help reduce injuries and relieve joint pain.
