Ballatore Strength

Osteoporosis is often called a “silent” disease because many people do not know they have it until they break a bone. It happens when bone density and bone strength decrease, making fractures more likely, especially in areas like the hip, spine, and wrist. The good news is that there are things you can do to support stronger bones: lift weights, do weight-bearing exercise, stay active, get enough calcium and vitamin D, avoid smoking, limit alcohol, and talk to your doctor about screening if you are at risk. Bone loss can start before you feel anything, which is why strength training is not just about looking stronger. It is about building a body that is harder to break.
