The main thing is exercise..preferably load bearing(like walking maybe with a pack on)..with a small to moderate dairy diet if possible too. (like milk on brekkie, cheese occasionally, butter, small yoghurt occasionally, gotta be some in chocolate..about 1to 2 glasses milk per day total approx?)
Calcium supps are OK too but too much can maybe cause kidney stones, so dietary calcium is usually preferred..depending on how much water you drink of course(lots of water like I've been drinking is not good, but it does stop any possiblity of kidney stones, and then you need the calcium supps)
Vit D helps or preferably say 15 mins sunshine a day if warm climate, oherwise fish liver oil maybe?I got from Z=-1.75(in 30's) to Z=-1.1 on BMD's..not great I know with the above.
I think the study on BMD and hip fractures and dairy consumption may ppossibly be biased as I know that if one is questioned about dairy intake if found to have hip fracture a lot of people will tend to "up" their dairy intake in their answers..just a "protective" answer...but who knows
Otherwise keeping this IL-6 down to normal levels is the thing :-)
I'm trying to understand this now.
