Bone Density - Maintaining Bone Health And Preventing Osteoporosis

Dr. Klaper discusses how to maintain bone health and bone mineral density on a plant based diet (or any diet!). Keeping our bones healthy is crucial for anyone who likes to walk, sit, stand, or run - or do anything for this matter! Eating lots of calcium rich leafy greens and using our bones is the key to bone health and preventing or slowing osteoporosis.
Question: Is the standard 'bone scan' the only we can determine the health of our bones or is there another more accurate way?

I just had a dexascan, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis 😞, I'm not even middle aged. My dr.said it's because of low estrogen from having a hysterectomy, I am on a low dose, apparently too low. I eat a healthy vegan diet and work out everyday, you'd never know I had this. It does run in my family, but certainly not at this age!

[@straightedgeveganbel2453]

@Peter Rabbit 👍

Hi, I’m in my thirties and have osteoporosis , had years of low oestrogen from being underweight. Look up the mineral boron, I take it and it defo increases oestrogen, hope thus helps 😊

[@skippy6462]

Maybe the dexi scan will diagnose osteoporosis but how do we know what the quality of our bones are? My doctor recommended vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 together. She also said collengen is good for bones but for me it's not vegan. Meantime I'm jumping gently and doing more daily movements. It's good to get the heads up and I focus more on myself. Prunes x 6 and almonds daily.

Really enjoying all of these videos! Learning bit by bit really helps :-)

[@straightedgeveganbel2453]

Great video! So informative!

[@elainewhite359]

Awesome reply thanks

[@dengelkemier]

Excellent video! Just inspired me to add more weights to my workouts. Like the shorter time format. Thanks!

[@lilianagriseldaszachury1843]

Thank you Doctor !! I was waiting for your answer!!

[@DoctorKlaper]

Most welcome!

[@susannamclaren2561]

Notwithstanding this good advice, it was a DEXA scan that resulted in my diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism which can only be cured by an operation. I was running and weightlifting at the time, so was using my bones!

[@janes6395]

These videos are the perfect length of time. Well done! Thank you 😊

[@dailydoseofmedicinee]

👏👏

[@dapawap]

Help just had a DEXA & I am on the borderline of osteoporosis. -2 I work & have a very physical life & have great healthy plant based diet. Will watch your vids on your website . I am 69 😳😳😳😳

[@anng.r.687]

Do we only need WEIGHT against gravity to prompt healthy bone growth, or can movement on a mini trampoline/rebounder help as well? I wonder if the small, minute jarring while bouncing will be enough to activate to the healthy feedback needed?

[@lokismum]

My physio loves rebounding for osteoporosis. She said you can return to osteopenia using the rebounder. My book on rebounding says you can totally reverse osteoporosis with the rebounder.

[@musikalitet]

Dear Dr Klapper. And i have heard that our gut is a kind of “second Brain”. We Can make our Brain sharper with excersises and training, the brain in our head. We Can make it sharp.

What excersise shall we give our gut to work the Best ???

It's a bit to simplistic for me and not true : "just eat your veggies and everything will be fine "I'm 56, vegan for 5 years . I eat plenty of greens, tofu, beans, seeds and so on... I just got diagnosed with severe osteoporosis. It's so bad I am shocked !!! My numbers are the ones of an 80 year old !!! My calcium and vitamin D levels are fine though. My trust for veganism is somewhat fading. I know I will probably get ignored here ....I was doing this for the animals but if I need to I might re-introduce a few animal products into my diet....:(

[@DoctorKlaper]

Hi Amba, for individual cases such as yours that require a deeper understanding of the issue, please consider booking a consultation at plantbasedtelehealth.com You can work directly with me or one of the other plant-based doctors.

[@AmbaMata-1]

@@DoctorKlaper Dear Doctor Klaper, thank you so much for taking the time to answer. Would love to work with you or a colleague as I've not been able to find a primary care physician lately let alone a plant based one. Thanks again.

[@selma5885]

Seems impossible to get the 1200 mg/day recommended from vegan diet. I've been mostly plant based and dairy free last 13 years. Walk 2M daily walk/hike and 13years of yoga. More sedentary due to fibromyalgia/chronic illness, but exercised everyday through out it all . Just diagnosed with osteoporosis at age 61. Ladies get your bone density score BEFORE heading into menpause while you can still build bone. Once estrogen drops, it is much more difficult to build bone! I fell hiking and fractured a wrist last year. I had to REQUEST the test from my GP when I read people with fibro have much higher rates.

[@Wearephuct-O]

What about bone broth haha ha just kidding

[@Wearephuct-O]

@Peter Rabbit LOL! Well?,....I'm waiting for my post-op, follow up, but so far ok I guess, THANKS. I have been eating a lot of "Evil Kinevil Bone Broth" , made from the actually bones of Evil Kinevil. It's expensive but I figure anyone that broke as many bones as he did must have pretty good bone broth

[@helpimlost.62]

@Peter Rabbit 🤭

[@Wearephuct-O]

@Peter Rabbit Shirley? Is that you?
