1. I love this channel!

2. Grazie, cosa ne pensa dei bifosfonati per curare l'osteoporosi. La segua sempre con fiducia.

3. Dr. Greger's next webinar, How Not to Age, is coming up on October 6. For more information and to register, go to: https://nutritionfacts.org/webinar/how-not-to-age-webinar/

4. I exercised all my life, yet slipped on ice and broke a hip at 59. I totally recovered, however now I educated myself on different cleats for footwear. I highly recommend stabilicers maxx. Had I known, I never would have fallen.

5. Publish your videos on X also

6. The wisdom of the meditating warrior monk living on a vegetarian diet and practicing high kicks (balance training) all day is once again validated by science.

7. As a fitness trainer I put strong emphasize on excercise – especially on older clients.

8. this is common sense, when you fall you do not solve it by making your bones strong enough to not break, but stop falling, much better approach and healthier, solving the root cause.

9. "Most Important Thing for Preventing Osteoporosis Bone Fractures" is to not be a vegan. 😂

10. Wearing non-skid footwear is vital to preventing falls. Lots of women’s shoes have slick soles. Guaranteed fall risk!

11. You should see me falling, it is said I'm like a wave upon an ocean…easy as she goes 😂 😂
    Apparently people who have witnessed my falls, say it's like watching a slow motion choreographed
    movie stunt. I don't know how I was able to fall and never suffer from fractures or breaks!!
    It must be something extra I was born with. I did several catapults over by bike handle bars, went
    flying then fell flat on a cement road. It knocked the wind out of me, however, no fractures…just
    a few scratches. When I feel a fall coming, my whole body goes limp like I'm drunk.
    I learned this from observing people falling after drinking too much, low and behold they almost
    never hurt themselves. So if you can learn to relax as you fall, perhaps it can be advantageous to
    your demise. 😂😂 A good diet is very important also stretching exercises as we age.
    Best wishes and do take care

12. The qualifier “osteoporosis” can just be removed from the title.

13. Excellent video. Could you make some about: herniated discs (recommendations to avoid and to treat) and about heap replacements for broken heaps.

14. EXERCISE, yoga, stretching, resistance weights, and balance exercises are all great options.
    Stay active. Get off the couch. Get of the iphone or ipad and go outside for a walk or bicycle ride.
    Riding a bicycle improves muscle strength, cardiovascular health and balance.

15. So much research in a 5 minute clip. Outstanding, and thank you.

16. Lets add in some canes, walkers and roll-ators …..although, I realize trainers frown on this equipment at times, but some people simply need these to get around to help prevent falling…….so, there is no shame in using this stuff in addition to exercising….

17. So, it would appear the often asked question of which came first, the fall or the broken hip has been answered here. I recall many times the theory being presented that a weak hip broke in an elderly person who then fell as a result of it, as opposed to someone with a weak hip falling and breaking it…….I do wonder if the doctors can determine which happens first when they look at the x-rays??? This vid seems to suggest that someone's hip rarely breaks under someone's own body weight that would result in causing a fall………

18. In addition, if you exercise and fall down your bones are stronger, even if you have osteoporosis. It happened to me some years ago, I falled on the floor and had nothing, apart from fear

19. Wrong. Vertebral compression fractures are not from falling, nor are hip fractures. Hip fractures are spontaneous. People do not fall and break a hip, they break a hip and fall. Denser bones are not necessarily healthier bones if they are dense due to Rx that prevents breakdown of old bone. Old bone is brittle, but the bones will appear more dense on a scan. Sorry, this person does not know what he is talking about. Think about it: the typical fall would result in a broken wrist, a hit head, etc. Who breaks a hip when falling? Osteoporotic. The reason the exercises result in fewer fractures is because they improve bone density.

20. Is there a way to auto like everything he shares with us?
    😂❤🥦 💪🏼

21. My mom keeps falling because she is severely over medicated. She's on muscle relaxers, benzos, narcotics, gabapentin, sleeping pills and Benadryl. Her doctors dont seem to care in the least that she's fallen many times. Mostly at night after she's taken all these pills. She thinks it's all perfectly safe because the Dr prescribed it so she has zero interest in exercise or decreasing the pills. 😒

22. 👍👍👍

23. Super interesting and important! Thank you <3

24. Good morning from London Dr Greger, this is really inspiring me to exercise even when I don't feel like it. Looking forward to buying How not to Age, best wishes to you and all your viewers

25. Another tip is to keep electric/computer cables neatly out of the way and if you have pets that run around your feet, be aware of where you step, also to avoid hurting them

26. Try not to fall guys~ even it's called accidents for a reason. lol

27. My grandmother (born 1905) started falling around age 84. She first fell down the porch steps as she was leaving the house for church. She fell twice again by age 85. She fractured her back in the last fall and could not get up. After a month in the hospital and 2 months in an intensive rehabilitation facility, she was released to a nursing home. The rehabilitation facility was paced for younger people who had suffered from car accident injuries or other types of injuries from which they could recover. But the staff there told my mom that my grandmother was not going to improve and they could only keep her there if she displayed progress. But she did not. So she went into a nursing home facility. After about 3 months of therapy there, she could not walk at all but became bedridden. She also started showing signs of dementia. My grandmother was suffering from TIAs and the TIAs were causing her to lose her balance and her memory. She lived 7 more years in this condition, passing at age 92. Eating the Standard American Diet caused these tiny clogs of animal fat and protein in the brain arteries which are the source of TIAs. Eating a plant-based diet would have alleviated this condition. RIP Grandma. ❤🙏

28. makes you wonder how many people started taking calcium supplements, supposedly to increase bone density to avoid fractures, only to then deal with with supplement side effects, yet it made no difference in fracture risk..oh well maybe there's a placebo effect where those taking supplements are more likely also to do the 3 things you stated that actually do make a difference: stop smoking, be active & eat well

29. Well, in the’70s it was the global coolinf and the ice age scare.

30. Please make sure your non slip mats on the shower floor are secured well or they become an even worse slip risk!!

31. Thanks Doc and staff 🥦❤

32. I do not want to be afraid of my environment.

33. BigPharma has different opinion 😉

34. keep up the good work

35. Taiji, with a good teacher, and kettlebell swings. I’d wager that doing the 24 Form (Chen style) aka The Government Health Form done five times, and several sets of kb swings, also done correctly would strengthen and fall inoculate most people far beyond their expectations.

36. Elderly patients are often deficient in vit B 12 whose deficiency symptoms include balance disturbances. If the deficiency is severe, they are often unable to stand without support. This militates toward more sitting. B 12 deficiency, if chronic, takes 4-6 months of supplementation to correct. A cheap fix to get back to mobility without fear.
