I have a dexa reading of -1.4. i am 51. can osteopenia be reversed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES!: Exercise has been shown to improve bone density. A healthy diet is essential- avoid sweets, sodas, lots of meat & coffee- these acidify your body & leach calcium from your bones! Many supplements are proven to help- Vit D & K are most important, also calcium, magnesium, boron, strontium.The drugs don't work well & have serious side effects!
