Originally this song was written around 1928 by brothers James and Rosomond Johnson. It tells the story of how Ezekial (37:1-14) visits the Valley of Dry Bones and prophesies that the dead will one day rise again at the command of the Lord and walk around. If you feel the urge to get up off that couch and do a little walking around yourself you can call it - exercise.
Maintaining bone density is crucial for seniors to prevent fractures and other bone-related issues. Here are some tips to increase bone density naturally:
Consume calcium-rich foods: Calcium is essential for bone health. Foods such as milk, cheese, yogurt, and leafy greens are great sources of calcium 1.
Get enough vitamin D: Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium. Sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D, but it can also be found in foods such as fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified cereals 1.
Exercise regularly: Weight-bearing exercises such as walking, jogging, and weightlifting can help increase bone density 234.
Avoid smoking and excessive drinking: Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can lead to bone loss and increase the risk of fractures 2.
Consult a doctor: If you’re concerned about your bone health or your risk factors for osteoporosis, including a recent bone fracture, consult your doctor. He or she might recommend a bone density test. The results will help your doctor gauge your bone density and determine your rate of bone loss 1.
