Discover 4 Incredibly Simple Ways to Increase Bone Density
Bone density becomes increasingly important as we age. For some, bones become so brittle that a fall can lead to a fracture.

Why You Should Avoid Osteoporosis Medications
About 34 million people in this country alone have low bone density and many over 60 have osteoporosis. But don’t expect bisphosphonate meds to strengthen your bones.

Prevent Falls and Fractures
A simple thing can change your life—like tripping on a rug or slipping on a wet floor. If you fall, you could break a bone, like thousands of older men and women do each year. For older people, a break can be the start of more serious problems, such as a trip to the hospital,…
The Sometimes Surprising Benefits of Chewing
Your mother was right: It’s important to chew your food thoroughly before swallowing it. Chewing is the first step in digestion. It breaks food into smaller particles, which increases the surface area so that digestive enzymes can more readily extract nutrients from it. If we rush through our meals, we don’t get the full phytochemical…
