How exercise can cure osteoporosis

Specific exercises are important for curing Osteoporosis

Exercise can help build strong bones and slow down bone loss & will benefit bones no matter at what age you start. For maximum benefit one should exercise regularly and combine low impact strength training exercises with weight-bearing exercises. Strength training helps strengthen muscles and bones in your arms and upper spine.

Weight-bearing exercises – such as walking, jogging, running, stair climbing, skipping rope, skiing and impact-producing sports – mainly affect the bones in your legs, hips and lower spine.

Swimming, cycling and exercising on machines such as elliptical trainers can provide a good cardiovascular workout, but because such exercises are low impact, they're not as helpful for improving bone health as weight-bearing exercises are.

Exercising regularly in childhood and adolescence can ensure that you will reach peak bone density.

You also need to participate in weight bearing exercise. For example: walking, dancing, jogging, stair climbing, racquet sports and hiking.
