Bone Health Goes Beyond Just
Calcium, Studies Show
(BPT) - Experts have found better alternatives
to increasing bone density than calcium
alone. Approximately half of all adults aged
50 and older are at risk of breaking a bone,
according to the National Osteoporosis
Foundation.[1]
Even seemingly safe activities like exercising
and driving can become troublesome for
individuals with osteoporosis. Debilitating
fractures and long-term issues are frequent
outcomes of weak and brittle bones.
In fact, 50 percent of people who break
their hips never fully heal, 10 percent end up
in nursing homes, and 33 percent die within
a year of their initial fracture.[2]
Rheumatologist and internist Dr. Adam
Kreitenberg explains, “Many people don’t
realize they have bone density issues until
they experience a fall or fracture. The goal
is to build strong and healthy bones before
it’s too late.”
Calcium’s benefits, such as gaining bone
mass and increasing bone density[3], have
been well-documented for many years. So,
why are recent studies revealing an increase in
osteoporosis in the United States, particularly
among women?[4]
According to a recent clinical study published
in The Journal of Orthopaedic Science,
calcium needs to combine with vitamin D3
and other key nutrients in order to support
bone density.[5]
However, not just any calcium will do; a
highly absorbable form of calcium, such as
calcium hydroxyapatite, is recommended
since it is bioidentical to the calcium already
found in your body.
When calcium hydroxyapatite is combined
with vitamin D3, studies show that bone

5 Things To Know While
Searching For Life Insurance
(BPT) - In today’s environment, when many
things may seem like they’re not in your
control, finding ways to help your family
feel more financially secure and protected
is important. As anyone who has suffered
a loss in their family is likely to tell you,
having life insurance in place beforehand
made a huge difference for their financial
situation - and their peace of mind.
However, a recent study found that only
54% of Americans currently have life insurance
coverage. This is a decline from just
a decade ago when 63% had life insurance
coverage, according to the 2020 Insurance
Barometer Study by Life Happens and the
Life Insurance Marketing and Research Association
(LIMRA). In the study, 44% of
families said that if the primary wage earner
died, they would face financial hardship within
just six months, and 28% would experience
financial hardship within just one month.
Having life insurance in place helps to
protect your loved ones, ensuring they will
have financial resources to rely on, giving
both you and them peace of mind.
What do you need to know about life
insurance? Here’s a quick guide.
1. Don’t Wait
According to the “2019 Insure Your Love
Consumer Survey” by Life Happens, 69% of
consumers with life insurance said that they
felt less stressed knowing their loved ones
were financially protected. Beyond establishing
that protection right away - before it’s
needed - another advantage is that typically,
you can secure lower rates for life insurance
when you’re younger.
2. Life Insurance is a Vital Part
of an Overall Financial Plan
A good financial plan for you and your
family should include life insurance as a
key component. When assessing your family’s
overall financial picture, one crucial
fact can’t be overlooked: Your family’s financial
health may be in jeopardy if you or
your spouse is no longer around to provide
income. As an article by Michael Aloi in
Kiplinger entitled “Whole Life Insurance: It’s
a Swiss Army Knife for Financial Planning”
explains, whole life insurance offers long-term
protection - and peace of mind - that very
few can achieve through simply trying to
save money over the years. So when you’re
making a financial plan, consider whole life
insurance as a crucial piece of your overall
financial planning puzzle.
3. It’s About More than
Immediate Expenses
Providing life insurance for your family
does a lot more than just pay for funeral
expenses, debts or medical bills not covered
by health insurance that you may leave behind.
It can help provide financial stability
