Calgary, AB Canada, 10 September, 2018 -- When creating a fitness routine, don't forget to add exercises that will help strengthen one's bones. While most fitness focuses on muscle and cardio-vascular, adding bone strengthening to the workout will give a person a healthier all around experience. Bones have a big job as they are responsible for supporting our bodies. They are what allows our muscles to do the workouts we design. Therefore, it is important to make strengthening them a part of our fitness routine. When a person is conscience of doing this, their bones will be healthy through their old age.

It is the opinion of most physical trainers that while muscles get the most attention when it comes to fitness routines, bones are just as important - maybe more so! If one only focuses on muscles and neglects their bones, they run the risk of bone density complications, fractures, and osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is defined as, according the WebMD, "is a condition that causes bones to gradually thin and weaken, leaving them susceptible to fractures. About 2 million fractures occur each year due to osteoporosis." The National Osteoporosis Foundation goes on to explain: "About 54 million Americans have osteoporosis and low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis. Studies suggest that approximately one in two women and up to one in four men age 50 and older will break a bone due to osteoporosis." Showing us all how important it is to add bone exercising to our fitness routines.

When you are choosing which exercises to do for bone health, know that they are not all the same. For strengthening your bones, use weight bearing exercises. Don't become discouraged by the thought of using weights in the fitness routine. There is no need to use heavy weights at all, but adding weights will not only strengthen your muscles, but your bones as well.

Adding heavy weights to one's fitness routine is a good idea as well as they have been shown to really help too. As Brad Schoenfeld, an assistant professor of exercise science at New York City’s Lehman College, told Time Magazine: "Through a process known as bone remodeling, strength training stimulates the development of bone osteoblasts: cells that build bones back up. While one can achieve some of these bone benefits through aerobic exercise, especially in one's lower body, resistance training is really the best way to maintain and enhance total-body bone strength."

Cardio-vascular exercises are good for bones when they involve jumping, running or other resistance type or weight bearing type of exercising. As long as you are using against gravity exercises, they will work to make your bones healthier.

It is never too late to start working out for bone health. Our bones can always use the boost, no matter your age, as they are working for us each and every day. So, go out and start walking or taking the stairs. Lift some weights! Then, start to enjoy better bone health.

9 September 2018 -- Bone health is as important to men as it is to women because the loss of bone density effects both sexes as they age. A decrease in bone density can lead to fractures, including major breaks like hip fractures that can be fatal. Bone loss from aging may also lead to osteoporosis, a crippling bone disease. An associate professor at the University of Missouri, Pam Hinton, leads research on bone health. She has recently conducted a study on physical activity and bone health, including if exercise can keep bones dense or make them more dense. Her research into bone health is important to both sexes because a decrease in bone density can lead to osteoporosis fractures and she has found that one-in-four men will have a fracture of this type in their lifetime.

Decreased bone density is often thought of as an issue women face in their post menopausal years. Studies have come to show that men have difficulty with keeping their bones healthy in their later years as well. Since breaks that happen because of falls can effect mobility as you age and should be avoided. Therefore, it is important for both men and women to take an active approach to bone health as they age.

Bone health is measured mostly in bone mass. When bone because porous, it loses its density and becomes weak. In the worst case scenario, loss of bone mass leads to osteoporosis. According to the 'the risk of fracture is increased approximately two-fold in osteopenic individuals and five-fold in people with osteopenia'. The facts go on to say, 'Risk factors for osteoporosis in men are similar to those identified in women: family history, age, low body weight, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, inadequate calcium or vitamin D intake, low reproductive hormone levels, physical inactivity, and disease or medication affecting bone metabolism'.

The study suggests that both men and women need to take active steps towards keeping their bones healthy. These steps not only include regular exercise, but also weight bearing exercise and proper nutrition through diet and supplements. The researchers in her study measured bone mineral density in 43 competitive male cyclists and runners ages 20 to 59. They found that 63 percent of the cyclists had osteopenia of the spine or hip compared with 19 percent of the runners. The study shows the type of exercise you do for your bone health matters.

Supplementing ones diet with bone and joint health supplements may also be effective in fighting bone loss from the natural effects of aging for men and women.

Nutriden believes that weight bearing exercise is part of a fit routine that will lead to building and maintaining healthy bones, along with a healthy diet that includes our Nutriden Bone Health Calcium Supplement.

Sep 6th 2018 -- As part of the company launching into the marketplace, Nutriden is re launching its new Bone and Joint HealthSupplements that contains Vitamin C, which has been associated with reducing risk of bone fractures.

Most people know that Vitamin C is an important nutrient, but most are not aware of its value in relation to building and maintaining bone health. Many people first learn about the value of Vitamin C in school where it is introduced through history’s explorers and their poor nutrient- lacking diets that caused many of them to get scurvy. However, scurvy is not really a common occurrence now in developed countries, but developing bone health diseases, including suffering from bone fractures are still a risk.

Building bone density is important in reducing the risk of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and bone fractures. Studies have associated the following with Vitamin C intake:
  • The bone benefits of Vitamin C appear to be particularly striking for women who smoke or are on hormone replacement therapy.
  • In animal studies, Vitamin C helped prevent the bone loss associated with ovary removal. In this study, the researchers suggest that Vitamin C could prevent “low turnover osteoporosis” — which is a type of bone loss associated with ovary removal. Bone turnover involves the on-going process by which old bone is broken and new bone formed. Low bone turnover, means low bone renewal.
  • Higher intake of Vitamin C has been associated with a lower rate of bone loss as we age. Equally, many studies report that individuals with osteoporosis have lower levels of Vitamin C.
Additionally, as presented by Osteoporosis International, Volume 20 (2009), studies have also associated the following with Vitamin C intake for reducing the risk of bone fractures and speeding fracture healing:
  • Higher intake of Vitamin C is associated with a reduced risk of bone fractures, while low levels of ascorbic acid have been reported in patients experiencing hip fracture. For example, in the 15-year Framingham Osteoporosis Study, participants with the highest intake of total Vitamin C had significantly fewer fractures compared to those with the lowest Vitamin C intake.
  • Vitamin C aids in fracture healing. In both human and animal studies, adequate Vitamin C levelsare consistently found to speed fracture healing.
Abone healing supplement containing Vitamin C offers additional osteo support for the healing of bone fractures.
