Bone Health 🦴🦴🦴
There’s research that points towards it being so much more than the “just take a calcium supplement” approach.
A study published this year followed 223 postmenopausal women for two years and tracked their diet, activity and bone density.
Here’s what it found:
→ Calcium and vitamin D intake . . no significant link to bone strength in this group
→ Higher fat intake was linked to lower hip bone density
→ But, 🥳🥳🥳 and here’s the positive news . . . women who ate more fibre through food had better bone microarchitecture (and if you’re wondering about a fibre supplement, the trial evidence there is much smaller and more mixed, so this is very much a food, not supplements, story)
🦴Put together, it’s a pattern I keep seeing in the research: it’s not about any single supplement. It’s about the whole plate, and the whole day.
This is exactly why we didn’t want our Bone Health Workshop (26th September) to be “here’s a supplement list.” Bone is built by movement, sunlight, sleep, hormones, gut health, and nutrition working together, and most advice only ever gives you one piece of that.
We’ll be giving you the whole picture.
Including the nutrient framework I use with clients (I call it the “Synergy of 5”) and a Mediterranean tasting menu built to demonstrate it.
Whilst experienced pilates professional Dinah Dinah Siman Menopause Pilates will be guiding you in movement to support balance, flexibility, and build strong bones, safely.
Early bird spaces are limited. Link in bio and stories to book, We’d love to see you there.
