bones and, as people age, it becomes more difficult to absorb calcium. In turn, this makes the bones more brittle and susceptible to breaks or fractures. You may have guessed by now, but exercise can help with that too.
Regular exercise can help to increase bone density because your body responds to your physical activity and produces more bone cells to keep up with you. In addition, your body will likely become stronger in the process, helping to reduce the risk of falls, which is the main cause of bone fractures among the elderly. Obviously, someone already suffering from osteoporosis may not want to jump into CrossFit tomorrow, but rather east into low-impact physical exercise like walking, biking, and swimming.
If you were looking for more reasons to start moving now, we hope this helps!
