🦴 Why Do Women Lose Bone As We Age?
As women enter perimenopause , oestrogen levels begin to decline — and with it, bone protection weakens. After menopause, this drop becomes more dramatic, leading to rapid bone loss — sometimes up to 20% within 5–7 years.
💥 This increases the risk of osteoporosis and fractures — often without symptoms until it's too late.
🛡️ What Can You Do?
✅ Weight-Bearing & Strength Exercises
Impact and resistance stimulate bone-building cells, helping maintain bone density.
✅ Calcium-rich foods
Calcium is the main mineral in bones — without enough Calcium in your blood, your body pulls it from your skeleton.
✅ Vitamin D
It helps your body absorb calcium.
✅ Limit alcohol & stop smoking
Both interfere with bone regeneration and weaken bone structure.
Your future bones will thank you 💪
