Re: [RC] [RC] osteoporosis//Calcium and Vit D Out of Favor - rides2far

- Keep some body fat. Don't be in a rush to be fashion model thin. 
After> menopause, virtually the only source of bone-saving estrogen is
in 
adipose> tissue.

This order made my day.

Other reasons to keep some fat:

It makes you more buoyant...you float better.

It helps keep you warm.

Helps to fill out your skin once it starts to wrinkle.

Builds stronger bones since every move you make becomes a major weight
bearing exercise.

and best of all...higher BC scores!
