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.

Kahn notes that such small additions are better than nothing and can fit into busy schedules without major changes.
