A recent study of 238 post-menopausal women was done by E. Krall, USDA Agricultural Research Service and found that walking as little as a mile a day can delay osteoporosis up to seven years!
Q:Where does this statement come from?
A:Most women lose 3% to 6% of their bone mass annually during the five years surrounding menopause. A study found that walking will delay osteoporosis significantly. Women who walked regularly took four to seven years longer to lose as much bone as women who did not walk at all.
