In this video, Dr Louise Newson discusses how to keep your bones healthy during menopause.

Our bones contain cells that respond to oestradiol, progesterone and testosterone and we know that osteoporosis increases during perimenopause and menopause when hormone levels reduce.

Dr Louise explains how doing weight baring exercises, taking vitamin D, eating calcium rich foods, not smoking, reducing alcohol intake and taking HRT are all beneficial for our bones.
