Speaking of Bones...

Last week, I wrote about increasing bone density through exercise, but while we're on the topic of bones, I just wanted to add an extra blog about preventing bone loss through your diet.
Higher protein foods such as lean meats ans low-fat dairy foods can help you lose weight without compromising your bone strength.
According to a study published in the Journal of Nutrition, dieters who follow government-promoted high carbohydrate diets see declining bone health over time, whereas dieters who chose to use high protein diets were able to keep their bone density fairly stable.
The high-protein diet is also helpful for your weight training since protein encourages muscle development.
Choosing the right diet and incorporating weight training to your work out will not only give you a better body aesthetically, but will make you healthier and help keep your bones and muscles strong in old age.
