Benefits of High Bone Density
Bone Density is crucial for a healthy look, it increases the robustness and size of your entire skeleton, especially the thickness of your facial bones. It reduces fracture risk, improves punch resistance and it even slightly increases your height if you have suboptimal levels.
How Bone Density Impacts Height
Your total body height is made up of the length of your femur, tibia, pelvis, spine length and head size. Your bone density correlates to the width and height of all these bones, so increasing it will lengthen each of them slightly and can make you regain up to an 1 inch or even more in lost height, IF you are very deficient.
Things that Increase Bone Density
1. Supplements:
- Vitamin K2
- Vitamin D
- Iodine
- Low Dosages of Vitamin A
- Magnesium
- Copper
- Calcium
2. Exercise
3. Get Enough Sleep
4. Increase Testosterone
Testosterone Levels and Bone Density Show Strong Connection
New research finds that low testosterone levels are strongly associated with low bone density (BMD) - even in relatively young men.www.hcplive.com
Things that decrease bone density
