In this episode, Dr. Doug Lucas discusses high impact exercises. They are important for bone health and can stimulate bone growth. Impact is required to get the stimulus to grow bone. Resistance training is also beneficial but should be combined with impact exercises. A study on young men showed that short duration high impact exercise boosted bone formation without increasing resorption. Jumping exercises can be a simple and free option for impact exercise. However, caution should be taken and it may not be suitable for everyone. Joining a community like HealthSpan Nation can provide support and resources for optimizing bone health.
