Did you know there’s a link between Gluten and Osteoporosis?
We all love our bread, pizza, and beer pasta. I do too. Especially the beer 🙂 All of these contain gluten. However, as I was instructed by my osteoporosis consultant (!) that the love affair has to end. For the next six months, minimum, I have to follow a gluten exclusion diet. I’m not exactly delighted, but needs must.
It’s all because I have brittle bones / osteoporosis at the tender age of 41. I’m told there is a direct link between gluten sensitivity and bone density issues such as osteopenia / osteoporosis. That sensitivity can block your ability to absorb vitamins and macronutrients that keep your bones strong. Every day’s a school day, eh?
A strong core can improve your posture, running technique, balance and stability. Pilates helps to develop a strong core by supporting and strengthening the muscles of the back, hips shoulders and pelvis.
