[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 77137, member: 135"] My mother will be 93 in less than a week and has been on Fosamax for several years. She's been taking calcium for a long time. She's spry and in good shape and until about a year ago she walked about a mile and a half a day. [img]:dance:[/img] She is still able to walk that far but she's had some inner ear problems so her balance is a little off so she's not been walking as much but at least she doesn't have osteoporosis. I've been taking calcium for about 10 years. I also exercise (run a half mile with my dog, walk back home the other half mile, bike, swim, and do yoga; also a little weight work for my arms) and when I had a check up a couple of years ago they did a bone scan and said I was OK but to keep up the calcium and vitamins and the exercise. That seems like a very simple thing to do to try to give myself some more good years. I think I have good genes because besides my mother I have an aunt on my dad's side who will be 102 in December and she still lives alone and walks for exercise every day. They'll probably both outdo me at this rate. [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
