Osteoporosis and Osteopena What to do?

Osteoporosis and Osteopena What to do?

Notes from Dr. Sear's Zone Cruise May 2011
Osteoporosis is driven by inflammation
What to do:
1) stress training/weights
2) eat adequate protein-elderly people should add one block of protein. 
Women: 70-77 grams spread throughout the day.  Elderly need 77-84 grams. (11-12 blocks)
Men: 91-98 grams spread throughout the day.  Elderly need 98-105 grams. (14-15 blocks)
Don't eat less protein! (Not enough protein causes Osteopena)
Balance the Protein with equal number of blocks of low glycemic carbs and monosaturated fats.
3) Take a supplement,  2 mg Calcium to 1mg Magnesium
Don't take Calcium without Magnesium.   It will mess up the electronic signals in the body.
