A decrease in bone density following middle age increases the risk of osteoporosis. In particular, in the case of women, bone mass decreases rapidly following menopause, so prevention of osteoporosis is more important. ‘The King of Thumbs’ reveals how to take care of bone health, including diet tips and exercise methods. Professor Kim Jeong-hyeon of the Department of Food and Nutrition tells the recipe for a ‘regeneration cube’ that will strengthen bones. Regeneration cubes can be made easily by mincing vitamin D-rich mushrooms and vitamin K-rich seaweed, then freezing them.
In addition, Yoon Pil-hwan, an orthopedic surgeon, introduces the ‘shake and shake exercise method’ that develops a sense of balance and muscle strength. Because osteoporosis patients are more likely to fracture when they fall, it is good to develop a sense of balance and strength to prevent falls.
