For those suffering from OSTEOPOROSIS (and others), here are some tips for making the most of your beach or mountain holidays while maintaining bone health:
- Do not carry heavy suitcases: Balancing the weights on the right and left is one of the best precautions to observe, therefore distributing the weight more or less equally on both sides.
- Travel in comfort: If possible, when choosing your seat and travel conditions, choose the aisle side so that you can stretch out your legs if necessary.
- Pay attention to your diet: A summertime ally is the sun, which allows our bodies to store vitamin D to MAINTAIN CALCIUM and PHOSPHORUS, but we can also support our bodies by eating foods like yogurt, oily fish, arugula, and cheeses. Don't forget our Mediterranean diet, which is a great helper for our bones. Let them abound on your table: olive oil, fruits, and vegetables!

SUMMER PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES, BEYOND RELAXATION!
Always remembering to train gradually and to consult a doctor before starting new disciplines, here is a list of activities that can be done during the summer:
Swimming, water exercises, water walking (up to your navel), fitness walking, cycling, and running are all great ways to enjoy the cooler hours, such as dawn and dusk. Avoid dark and synthetic clothing, and protect your eyes and skin from the sun.
Let's remember the two fundamental rules for performing a workout in complete physical health:
- ALWAYS WARM UP
- KEEP YOUR BODY HYDRATED
To avoid tiring your body and overdoing it, we recommend varied, short, and intense workouts lasting a maximum of 45 minutes.
