Our bones become more brittle as we age, but HGH therapy can help with that

Aging women and men both experience decreased bone density.

However, women are more prone to bone loss than men. Women’s bones are smaller and thinner than men’s.

During menopause, estrogen levels decrease, which causes bone cells to break down, possibly leading to osteoporosis. Is it time to consider HGH Therapy?

As women age, their bone mineral density decreases. HGH is an excellent alternative to calcium supplements to prevent osteoporosis and other menopause symptoms.

Bones and hormones

Human growth hormone (HGH) plays a significant role in regulating growth and bone metabolism. Our bones need enough growth hormone to lengthen to adult proportions during childhood and adolescence. Growth hormone causes our liver to produce a substance called insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1). This and other similar compounds are involved in bone growth.

HGH Therapy for Women West Palm Beach FLAs we age, our HGH levels decline. This leads to symptoms such as:

  • Poor bone density
  • Reduced muscle mass
  • Fatigue and lack of energy
  • Depression
  • Weakened immune response

Declining HGH levels can be corrected by Human growth hormone therapy. The signs and symptoms associated with age-related hormone decline, including poor bone density and risk of osteoporosis, can be reduced or eliminated at most, so you can enjoy this phase in your life.

How to have healthy bones

As we grow older, our HGH levels start to decline. Because HGH plays an essential role in bone growth, women who age are more likely to experience bone density loss due to the declining levels of HGH. Hence, it is important to prioritize bone health as we age. 

  1. Eat a well-balanced, healthy diet

    Your body needs to have strong bones, regardless of your age. Calcium builds strong bones, and your diet is the best way to obtain it. It is vital to consume calcium daily to keep the body’s bones healthy and strong, as old bone cells are continually destroyed and replaced with new ones.

    The recommended daily intake (RDI) for calcium is 1000 mg for most people and 1200 mg for older women. Include calcium-rich foods such as dairy products (like low-fat milk and yogurt) and fish (like sardines and salmon).

    Other foods that are great calcium sources include the following:

    • Dark green leafy vegetables, such as kale, collard greens, brussels sprouts, broccoli, Chinese cabbage, and spinach
    • Almonds
    • Winter squash
    • Young green soybeans

  2. Increase calcium intake

    Milk builds strong bones when consumed as part of a balanced diet. Milk is fortified with vitamin D to help you absorb calcium more efficiently. Calcium is essential for muscle maintenance, nerve impulses and signaling in the bloodstream, and the development of the skeleton. 

    Calcium supplements are also recommended to prevent calcium depletion, maintain bone mass, and prevent and treat osteoporosis. This applies to women of all ages who cannot meet dietary calcium recommendations, especially menopausal women who have higher calcium RDI requirements.

  3. Perform strength training exercises

    Participating in strength training and regular weight-bearing exercise programs is beneficial for building bones in every stage of life. Weight-bearing exercises promote the formation of new bones.

    Regular exercise is proven to significantly improve bone strength and increase bone mass in pre-and post-menopausal women.

  4. Get enough protein

    Aside from calcium, dietary protein is another crucial nutrient for bone health across various age stages. Hence, protein helps prevent bone loss and osteoporosis. Research has shown that protein intake was found to increase intestinal calcium absorption.

    Moreover, improved absorption efficiency can be attributed to increased urinary calcium.

    High protein diets are associated with decreased bone loss and fractures. For people who have limited calcium and vitamin D intake, a high-protein diet is beneficial. Good protein sources in food include beans and lentils, lean red meat, soy products, nuts, poultry, fish, and eggs.

  5. Cut back on caffeine and alcohol

    Both caffeine and alcohol influence how calcium is metabolized in the body. Caffeine causes your body to excrete calcium more quickly. Alcohol, meanwhile, can lower your body’s ability to absorb calcium. Both of these processes decrease calcium levels in the body.

    Hence, it’s recommended to drink less coffee, tea, caffeinated soft drinks, and alcohol.

  6. Seek professional help

    As bone health is affected by HGH levels, it is important to increase HGH levels in menopausal women. Human growth hormone therapy is one of the best ways to replace HGH that has been lost as a result of aging.

    If you live in West Palm Beach, you’re in luck since there’s a nearby clinic that specializes in Human growth hormone treatment.

To maintain strong, healthy bones throughout your life, consume enough calcium, eat enough protein, and get enough vitamin D.
