Remember when you were young and you thought you were invincible?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Sure, maybe you actually never thought about it, but you probably acted like you believed it. Think about some of the crazier things you did when you were younger.<\/p>\n

Would you ever do those things now? <\/em><\/p>\n

At some point everyone realizes that they won\u2019t live forever. <\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And as an extension of that thought comes the realization that it\u2019s time to start making decisions now<\/em> that will reap benefits in the future<\/em>, like saving money for retirement, investing in a house or other large purchase, and making better choices for your health.<\/p>\n

Something I\u2019ve been obsessing over lately is obstacle races<\/strong>. I love anything that gets me challenging myself in new, scary, physically challenging ways. 3-meter-high walls followed by a jump into an ice-cold lake?<\/strong> Let\u2019s do it! <\/em>Dodging electrically-charged wires while crawling through mud? Bring it on!<\/em><\/p>\n

As much fun as these adventure races are, at some point\u2014usually while I\u2019m charging down the side of a mountain at full speed through mud, ice, and snow\u2014I have what I call a mortality moment<\/strong>. That\u2019s when I remember that I am not<\/em> invincible, and the possibility of me rolling my approaching-middle-age body<\/strong> down the mountain in a tangle of broken bones becomes very real.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, trying to stop yourself from running down a mountain is a really good way to fall.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The point is, we all need to stop and consider our mortality<\/strong> every now and then, for our own health. And when we do, the health of our bones should be one of our first considerations. After all, what good is living into your 90s if your bones are too weak to hold you up? I don\u2019t know about you, but I want to be fully mobile<\/strong> as long as possible.<\/p>\n

Here are some tips you can start using now\u2014or as soon as you have your mortality moment\u2014for better bone health<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1. Don\u2019t believe everything you hear.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Contrary to popular belief, you can<\/em> rebuild lost bone mass. Russian cosmonauts who have been in space begin to lose a significant amount of bone and muscle mass. They use whole body vibration technology (WBV)<\/strong> to recover from this loss and get back to normal levels. You can try vibration training with a home vibration machine or find one at a gym; you can also make gains through weight training<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Consider your overall health.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

According to Dr. Susan E. Brown, PhD; when you improve the health of your bones, the rest of you gets healthy too! Dr. Brown says, improve bone and you will improve:<\/p>\n
