Osteoporosis Prevention

weighted clothes is the ultimate solution if you’re looking for a simple and effective osteoporosis prevention method. As your body gets used to the heavier weight you carry around, your muscles and joints become tougher and stronger, and your bones – denser, which in turn can offset the development of osteoporosis.

Wolff's Law

Theory developed by the German

Anatomist/Surgeon Julius Wolff (1836-1902) in the 19th century stated that bone in a healthy person or animal will adapt to the loads it is placed under. If loading on a particular bone increases, the bone will remodel itself over time to become stronger to resist that sort of loading.

 

The external cortical portion of the bone becomes thicker as a result. The converse is true as well: if the loading on a bone decreases, the bone will become weaker due to turnover as it is less metabolically costly to maintain and there is no stimulus for continued remodeling that is required to maintain bone mass.
