“Growth hormone improves bone density and reduces the risk of fractures in women with osteoporosis, according to a 2015 study. Women who received growth hormone were half as likely to experience a fracture over a 10-year period than women who did not.”

“Drinking white wine is associated with greater bone density. Ultimately, you shouldn't view wine consumption as a way to achieve positive health benefits, but rather, an alternative alcoholic option that carries a lower risk than beer or other spirits.”

“Autoimmune disease Rheumatoid arthritis A systematic review of 23 randomized controlled trials found that marine-derived omega-3 fatty acids shortened the duration of morning stiffness, reduced joint swelling and pain, and decreased the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs associated with rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease of the joints and bones.”

“The body contains approximately 2 to 3 grams of zinc, with the highest levels found in skeletal muscle (60 percent) and bone (30 percent), and the remainder distributed throughout the body’s various tissues.”

“> All in all, the studies represent a new mechanism by which these bone-marrow derived cells control feeding through BDNF and could provide a new avenue to attack obesity, said Chan.”

“When a tooth infection spreads to the root, the body's immune response can become overly aggressive, destroying surrounding bone and tissue. Scientists at São Paulo State University tested whether two accessible lifestyle factors, swimming and omega-3 fatty acids, could reduce this damage.”

“Dr. Patrick describes strategies you can apply immediately to enhance cellular health, protect the nervous system, elevate mood, reduce inflammation, promote muscle and bone function, and help prevent chronic disease.”

“While more studies are needed to determine if decreasing CRP in patients with arthritis leads to improvements in joint and bone health, vitamin C might be useful in decreasing some aspects of inflammation.”

“Resistance training involves pushing or pulling against the resistance of an object, such as weights, bands, or even one's own body weight. These exercises exert powerful forces on the bones, slowing bone loss and promoting bone accretion.”

“This early biomarker research adds to vitamin D's established roles in bone and mineral physiology, while clinical use remains individualized. This clip is excerpted, with permission, from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on Katie Couric's Next Question.”
