| Diseases ->Bones: Exercise Increases Bone Density in Women Using Hormone Replacement Therapy |
 KEYWORDS: bone disease osteoporosis homone replacement therapy bone density exercise
AUTHOR: Maureen Williams, ND
A combination of weight training and aerobic exercise improves bone mineral density and might add to the beneficial effect of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) at specific sites, according to a new study published in Osteoporosis International (2003;14:637?43).
Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by low bone density and increased risk of bone fracture. Exercise and estrogen are two factors that stimulate the proper use of minerals and prevent bone loss. Adequate intake of vitamin D and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, and manganese are required to maintain bone density. Approximately one third of postmenopausal women in the United States have osteoporosis.
