You're listening to The Digest This Podcast, and I'm your host, Bethany Cameron.

Bone density changes over time, and as we age, this topic is on people's radar even more.

Throughout childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood, the bones absorb nutrients and minerals gaining strength, but as a person

enters their late 20s, they reach their peak bone mass, meaning they will no longer gain

bone density and may even begin to lose it. In menopause in particular, a person becomes susceptible

to osteoporosis, which is a condition that weakens the

bones much so that they can easily break. But even if you're not menopausal, pregnancy, autoimmune

diseases, and even gut issues can play a role in bone loss due to lack of nutrients and in pregnancy, the nutrients from the bones

in the mother may go towards the baby if the mother is not getting the proper nutrition.

There are several factors why a woman may experience bone loss, and sadly, there's no way

of knowing it until it's too late and you fracture or break

a bone or hip. Of course, you can get Dexas scans to see where you're at, but typically if you don't

have a reason, insurance will not cover it until you're of the menopausal age. But regardless,

if you are pre or post menopausal, we should all be

caring for our bones to prevent bone density loss. And if you're already battling this issue or

know someone who is, then this episode is even more important. You guys know I'm really picky about what goes into my body. So that's

why I choose Elements raw, unflavored electrolyte mix, which contains just three simple ingredients.

No maltodextrin, no natural flavors, no stevia, no monk fruit, just three simple ingredients that

are all contributing to our electrolyte balance.

And right now, Element is offering my listeners a free sample pack with any purchase. That's eight

single serve packets for free with any Element order. So you just have to go to D-R-I-N-K-L-M-N-T dot com slash digest to get this offer.
