Aliquot #83: The Path to Strong Bones ⎯ and why it matters

Rhonda Patrick & Brad Schoenfeld

Bone density is crucial throughout the lifespan, but it takes on even greater importance as we age, as bone mass really begins to decline. Resistance training is one of the most effective ways to maintain bone health. Still, other lifestyle factors, like not smoking, limiting alcohol, and ensuring that you provide your body with the nutritional components it needs for bone-building, are important too. In light of growth hormone's effects on bone health, it's possible that sauna use, which boosts growth hormone levels, promotes bone health. In this Aliquot, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses the different lifestyle habits that help build and maintain bone health throughout the lifespan.
