Margie Bissinger PT, MS, CHC | Osteoporosis

Most of us don’t think very much about our bones when we’re young. We usually start paying attention when there’s a reason to, and that’s just how life goes.

But I think there’s something really wonderful about the fact that the things you’re doing for your bones now are also things your children and grandchildren can learn from you.

Maybe they see you doing your strength exercises. Maybe you cook a healthy meal together. Maybe they ask why you’re taking time to go for a walk, manage your stress, or do something that helps you feel good.

You don’t have to give them a lecture about osteoporosis. They’re learning by watching what you do.

And I love that, because the same habits that help us take care of our bones now are the ones we can pass on to the next generation. That’s one of the ways we can start changing the future of osteoporosis.

Taking care of your bones doesn’t have to begin after a diagnosis. It can start much earlier, with the simple things we do every day.

So keep doing what you’re doing, and let the people you love see it. 💜
