Menopause Discussion > Alternative Therapies
Bone density - alternative therapies?
CLKD:
Why not give it a go - after all, nothing lasts for ever [hopefully] and if you find it helps then continue; if not, after 9-12 months give it up?
We have a 'dog breed' thread here somewhere ;-).
How is your diet over-all? Eating regularly can stop sudden dips in energy which can = irritability. That is, eating every 3 hours 24/7, 7/52 …………. especially as you walk regularly, could it be that you may not be eating enough to stop those sudden dips?
I think that the Japanese eat differently from day 1 so beginning their diets later on probably won't work! I expect that many cultures simply don't talk about menopause ………. or don't live long enough to experience symptoms?
As an aside - does VitD need any other mineral for up-take, i.e. magnesium ……..
Let us know how you get on!

Oh heck! The future of my bone health is another of my concern. :(
What I was told by the gp is to have healthy level of vitamin D which seems to be the key so I'd monitor my level every year.
We have been rather lucky with Sun this year but 50% of population is vitamin D defficient. As long as I monitor my vitamin D level, I can take 4,000 IU everyday. And exercise I suppose. ::)
You can buy this online or from your local health food shop.

If you are under 50 and oestrogen deficient then no amount of Vit D will protect your bones in the same way as hrt does.
Everyone should be taking vitamin D, particularly in winter. DG x

Brisk walking once the sun goes down ........ lots of dairy foods.

Ask for a bone density scan? I believe that the pelvis is the best area to chart bone loss.
