Weight-bearing exercise and your teeth

The benefits of exercise run more than skin deep. Exercise contributes to the reversal of ageing at the cellular level. Astounding! Whether you perform aerobics for cardiovascular stamina or anaerobics for strength, your exercise program could jump-start your quality of life.

When weight-bearing exercises are incorporated into your fitness program, they can also ward off thinning of the bones, or osteoporosis, which has been linked to poor oral and overall health.

How do weight-bearing exercises improve bone density? They work your bones and muscles against gravity. In reaction to the exerted force of your body mass and the pull of your muscles, the bone adapts by building more cells which increases sturdiness.

So do pushups, life weights, or even cartwheel into your stronger, more energized future. You'll eat better, sleep better, and smile more.
