Dr. Carlos Moreyra: A Better Diet Leads to Stronger Bones - #90

They didn't teach this in medical school. Orthopedic surgeon Carlos Moreyra had to do his own research to learn that  diet plays a crucial role in maintaining orthopedic health. A variety of factors can affect bone strength and density. Your choice of food can either help prevent orthopedic disease or increase the likelihood of orthopedic diseases including osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and even fractures. In this episode, Dr. Moreyra discussed how advanced glycation end products affect bone health in several ways. He notes that chronic medication can affect bone health and highlights the necessity to cut back on carbohydrates, processed foods, and sugars to maintain strong bones. He advocates dietary and lifestyle changes to prevent orthopedic conditions and make you stay off his operating table.
