    Broken Bones After 50 — the Achilles’ Heel of Aging

    How to prevent broken bones.

    After you reach the age of 50, any broken bones that you get should be taken seriously. Not only do the bones in the body become more brittle with age, but the chances of developing osteoporosis or arthritis can also increase. Here is a list of bone care essentials that can help you prevent broken bones.

    Exercise Regularly

    By exercising regularly, you’re helping your body adapt to the changes that you’re going through while increasing your overall well-being. Everyone should exercise on a daily basis, whether you’re running, doing strength training or other, low impact exercises. By staying active, you’re strengthening your bones and increasing your overall health.

    Eat a Well-Balanced, Healthy Diet

    Eating foods that are rich in vitamins and nutrients that are good for bone health can help strengthen and repair bones faster. Multi-vitamins are great to take since they cover most of the needed vitamins. Calcium should be taken regularly, especially if it is not in the food that you eat on a regular basis.

    Maintain a Healthy Weight and Kick Bad Habits

    If you smoke or have other poor habits then these should be kicked to the curb. The more health problems you have, the higher your chances of developing bone problems. Not only does smoking affect the lungs, but it affects the rest of the body too, including the bones.

    Maintaining a healthy weight is ideal for anyone, but it is especially important for older individuals. When you carry extra weight that puts stress on your bones. Reducing your weight also lessens the load for your bone structure, helping them to be stronger and more supportive of an ideal body frame.

    Identify Any Risk Factors

    Risk factors present themselves in the weirdest places. When you have a history of bone disease in your family, then chances are you’re at high risk for developing them, as well. By identifying the risks, you can then take the necessary precautions to minimize the chances of having any bone diseases as you age.

    Speak with Your Doctor

    Talk to your doctor about the risks associated with broken bones and other bone diseases. Ensure that you’re tested and checked regularly, as well as speaking with them about minimizing your chances of having a broken bone in the near future.

    A fracture occurs in the world every one to three seconds, and when you have osteoporosis and don’t know it, the signs are silent. This is why it is important to keep track of the care that you provide your bones with and have regular checkups with your physician to ensure better bone health.

    In older individuals, falls can be deadly. Don’t let this happen to you, make sure you have the right alert system in place for when something does happen. Using a Pioneer medical alert system can help you quickly get the response you need, so that you never have to worry about waiting for help to come. Press a button, and ensure that you get a response, even when the phone is across the room.
