So let's talk about why people shrink as the age, especially women.

Why is that and what can we do to prevent that?

You don't want to wait until your two to three inches or four inches shorter and try to reverse

that. It's too late. So we want to act now. So a person potentially could lose a quarter to

a half an inch every decade after 40. So by the time they're 70 or 80 they're actually two or three

inches shorter. Why is that and what can we do to prevent that? We're getting a loss of the

disc space between the vertebrae and we're also getting a loss of the vertebrae itself.

So one of the big myths out there is that people think that they can grow a bone by drinking more

milk. Well cows and horses have these huge legs. They're solid. They're supporting a very large

animal and they don't drink milk after six months. They actually are eating grass. So there is no

credible study that I could find that shows that drinking milk will build your bones or make them

stronger. Now what about calcium? Well there's a problem with calcium especially when

postmenopausal women take calcium to prevent bone loss especially if it's calcium carbonate.

They increase their risk of getting heart attacks. I did a separate video on that. You can check

it out. But when we talk about minerals we're only talking about one little piece of the puzzle.

You need other minerals. You need vitamins. You especially need magnesium and this trace

mineral called boron. Boron is really, really essential to help prevent osteopenia and osteoporosis.

Okay, so get your calcium. You can get that from leafy greens and maybe a little high quality

organic grass fed dairy. Okay, number two, vitamin D3 and K2. These are fat-civil vitamins. These

are really important in mobilizing and transporting not just calcium but magnesium as well. So

vitamin D helps the absorption of calcium from the small intestine by 20 times. But K2

drives that calcium from the blood into the bone. So vitamin K2 as compared to K1
