Ways To Prevent Or Reverse Osteoporosis

Reduce Stress

High levels of stress over extended periods of time have been shown to cause bone loss. Stress causes an increase in cortisol levels, which is a hormone that antagonizes insulin, leading to insulin sensitivity. When blood sugar levels become elevated, it causes urine to excrete calcium out of the body. Exercise is a great way to relieve stress. Yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises may also help. Relaxing hobbies such as walking, reading, sewing or knitting have also been shown to reduce stress.
