#355 Boosting Bone Density and Muscle Strength After Breast Cancer


Listen Later

After breast cancer treatment, maintaining strong bones becomes critically important. Treatments can take a toll on your skeletal system, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Understanding why bone health is vital and how to protect it is key to your overall well-being.

In this episode, we'll highlight the crucial role that muscle strength plays in maintaining bone health. Our bones and muscles are intricately connected; when we build muscle, we also promote stronger bones. Resistance training isn't just about getting fit – it's about building a foundation that supports your entire body, including your bones.

I'll guide you through the science behind how muscle strength contributes to bone density. We'll discuss practical, achievable ways to incorporate resistance exercises into your daily routine, regardless of your fitness level. Whether lifting weights, doing bodyweight exercises, or engaging in resistance band workouts, every bit helps maintain and improve bone health.

Join me as we uncover actionable strategies to enhance your bone health through muscle building, empowering you to take charge of your recovery and well-being.

Whether you're currently undergoing treatment or in remission, this episode is packed with valuable information to help you build a strong, resilient future.
