July 6, 2010 - PRLog -- Fitness expert Larysa DiDio emphasizes the importance of proper nutrition and fitness for girls and women of all ages in response to 37-year-old Gwyneth Paltrow's recent bone density condition:

"Gwyneth Paltrow's recent announcement that she has Osteopenia should be a wakeup call for all women and parents of daughters.  Osteopenia can be a precursor to the bone disease Osteoporosis which increases the risk of fractures. While it is unknown if excessive dieting and insufficient weight bearing exercise was the cause of Gwyneth’s condition, it is known that these are issues that are extremely bad for your and/or your daughter's health!  Not only do crazy fad diets lack proper vitamins and minerals that are essential to a healthy body and bones, but they cause you to lose weight in an unhealthy manner, making you lose not only fat but also muscle and bone.  For every 10 lbs that is lost, 1% of bone is also lost.  Typically, when weight is gained, only fat is gained...the bone loss remains stable.  

 The most efficient way to protect yourself from bone loss and to build more, is to do weight bearing exercise.  Walking or doing aerobics doesn't do it.  Gwyneth explained that she did light band work and lightweights.  This is not enough to prevent bone loss!  One must actively resistance train with weights that tax the system sufficiently to challenge the body to get stronger and to protect.  

 The good news is anyone can weight train at any age!  And it's never too late or too early to start!  Research has shown that girls who exercise consistently as early as 8 years old have shown to protect themselves against Osteopenia and Osteoporosis.  And adults who begin weight training regimes can stave off Osteoporosis related injuries and even reverse the disease.  
 So go girl power!  Get out there and hit the weights!"
