What’s the Best Diet For Stronger Bones?
When you’re on a weight loss journey, you might not realize that as the number goes down on the scale, it’s not just a result of fat loss. You might also be losing essential lean muscle mass and bone density, which is a major concern, especially for folks on GLP-1s. Recent research in JAMA Network Open links GLP-1 receptor agonists to a loss of bone density, which could raise your risk of developing health issues like osteoporosis. Experts are aware of these risks, and emphasize that keeping your bones healthy as you lose weight (and age) is super important.
Now, new research suggests that there may be a way to combat that potential bone loss by following a diet most healthcare professionals already recommend. (Of course, this has to be paired with exercise and general healthier eating habits.) So, whether you’re already dropping pounds, or just want to mix up your diet, these findings are worth paying attention to. Here’s why, according to experts.
