Don’t Let Osteoporosis Break You . . May is Oste Don’t Let Osteoporosis Break You
.
.
May is Osteoporosis Awareness Month. After menopause, women are at a particular risk of developing osteoporosis because Estrogen production declines
.
.
A DEXA scan reveals bone density loss, if any. Get evaluated every two years if over 65.
.
.
My recent DEXA scan revealed some muscle mass loss on my less dominant side.
.
.
The solution:
🌟Calcium with Vitamin D (Vitamin D aids calcium absorption) supplement
🌟According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, at least 1200 mg of elemental calcium is needed to minimize bone loss
🌟 Regular weight-bearing exercise
🚬 Stop smoking 
🍷🍺Limit alcohol
🍽️ Frequent dieting increases the risk of Osteoporosis

Do You Know Your Resting Heart Rate? Most Fitness Do You Know Your Resting Heart Rate? Most Fitness Devices Track, like my Oura Ring 
.
.
♥️Your resting heart rate, measured when relaxed and not exercising, can reflect your current and future health. 
.
♥️What is resting heart rate? Adults’ normal heart rate ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Women have the same range but can vary depending on age, fitness levels, and overall health.

♥️Why is it important? Generally, a lower heart rate implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness
.
.
♥️Eight Insights Your Heart Rate Reveals About You:
	1.	Stress and anxiety levels can increase the heart rate
	2.	If you have Diabetes or are pre-diabetic
	3.	If there is a short in your heart’s electrical system
	4.	You are not getting enough exercise
	5.	Certain medications can raise your heart rate readings
	6.	Inadequate hydration levels
	7.	An over or interactive thyroid
	8.	Caffeine and alcohol can temporarily increase your heart rate 
.
.

♥️When to consult a medical professional:
Consistently high or low resting heart rate
Significant or sudden change

Being Under the Influence Impacts Women Differentl Being Under the Influence Impacts Women Differently
.
.
April is Alcohol Awareness Month, and my blog post this week is highlighting and understanding how being under the influence impacts women differently than men. 
.
.
Moderation is key
.
.
Women versus men, physiological differences:
	1.	Women have a higher body composition which means women can reach  higher blood concentrations than men
	2.	Women produce less of the enzyme, ADH which means alcohol enters the blood stream faster in women then men. 
	3.	Hormonal changes throughout a woman’s life affect alcohol metabolization.
.
.
Alcohol and Menopause: 
🥂Alcohol can accelerate bone loss, interfering with calcium absorption
🍷 Alcohol can exacerbate hot flashes and night sweats. 
🍸Alcohol may interfere with HRT (hormone replacement therapy)
.
.
Alcohol Health Risks:
Heart, brain, liver disease and breast cancer
