Overcoming Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a demineralization of the bone, mostly with respect to calcium. It results in less bone density and makes one susceptible to fracture.

Many people can over come this by understanding it’s cause.

Wolff’s Law is explained as “bone will remodel itself over time to become stronger in response to the stresses put upon it, and conversely, if the load or stress on the bone decreases, the bone will become weaker as the strength is not needed”.

Examples are a Pro tennis players bones in the forearm show up to 50% more bone density than the non-racket holding arm, and the opposite is true for astronauts which are in space in a weightless environment (no gravity), the bone looses it’s density and strength.

In the population, most cases of osteoporosis are in the aging. For the most part it is a result of decreased movement or exercise. To supplement calcium only, will not reverse the condition as the calcium will not be transported to the bone if there is no stress put upon it.

To help reverse the effects of osteoporosis, systematically increase movement and exercise as you increase calcium rich foods in your diet such as dark green vegetables.

What we do in Life…

Echoes for Eternity.

In the Leadership Essentials class that I delivered at Zappos, we said that “We are building this company for our grandchildren”.

And “What we do today, will be reflected in our business 50 years from now”.

But maybe “Echoes for Eternity”, is more fitting.

The Best Investment…

We can ever make is in our Mind and Body…and learning new things to help us is Never a waste of time.

We are not born with all the answers and secrets that will help us be as healthy as possible, and we might have even been raised with some things that are not so good for us, that may need to be changed.

So we need to take the time and slow down once in a while, to gain some knowledge which is all around us…which can help us help ourselves.

Ever get Excited…

And it seems to come out of nowhere??

Take it and run with it – without hesitation!

Many times we go cruising along, from day to day and week to week, just going about our business and only getting excited occasionally, because we are focused on what’s in front of us and not what’s around us.

Take it all in…what’s around, us and the great opportunities which lie in our future – let’s get out of our heads for a bit…because when we take it all in…our excitement will build.

So when we are having one of those days that seem to come out of nowhere, it has probably come from our recent reflection on our grateful thoughts, and our positive outlook.

When one door closes…

Other doors always open up.

Yet some of us don’t see the other doors opening, because our focus stays on the door that has closed.

That’s the key to “Spinning it and Winning it”.

When we face a challenge, like a door closing, we “spin it” into a positive, lesson, or an opportunity…that way, our focus doesn’t stay on the door that has closed, our focus is directed to looking around for the doors that have opened.

Taking it to the “Next Level?”

Why not, everything else is going there.

Would you like to work on a 1980’s computer? Or drive a 1930’s car? How about using the old telephone you had to crank?

Even from birth we have been taking it to the “Next Level” with our experiences, knowledge and skills we acquire.

Change is good and the “Next Level” is even better.
