Longevity doctor shares simple bone health tip

Primary care doctor Amanda Kahn recommends adding resistance to daily routines for better bone and spine health.

Dr. Amanda Kahn, a longevity specialist, suggests incorporating light resistance into everyday activities. She personally uses wrist and ankle weights along with a weighted vest while rollerblading or even blow-drying her hair. Studies indicate weight-bearing exercises can help prevent osteoporosis and sarcopenia, especially for women after age 30 when bone mass peaks. Kahn notes that such small additions are better than nothing and can fit into busy schedules without major changes.
