Nutritional Therapy
As a frequent lecturer for the Danish Osteoporosis Association and the author of the book “Stærke Knogler" (Strong Bones), Mia Damhus is a leading authority in complementary treatment of osteoporosis.
Myths about osteoporosis are debunked when Mia dives into the controversies around rebuilding bone.
Here are a few tips from “Strong Bones”:
- Strong bones are built through loading (weight-bearing exercise).
- In its status report on osteoporosis, the WHO states that the disease is NOT a calcium-deficiency disorder.
- Vitamin K and vitamin C are crucial components – and many people get far too little of both.
- Inflammatory signals, especially from the gut, increase bone breakdown – independent of calcium intake.
- In particular, gluten reactions are a cause of osteoporosis.
