Calcium, not smoking may limit birth-control bone loss

Calcium, not smoking may limit birth-control bone loss

Injectable birth control is known to lower bone density, but women may be able to limit the loss by not smoking and getting even moderate amounts of calcium, a new study hints.

The findings, say researchers, show that not all women are at equal risk of bone loss from using depot medroxyprogesterone (DMPA) — better known by the brand-name Depo Provera.

DMPA is given by injection about once every three months, and is generally considered an effective, convenient and low-cost form of birth control. The contraceptive can, however, lead to significant bone loss.

While research has shown that this lost bone mass is often regained after women stop using DMPA, there are still concerns about whether substantial bone loss is completely reversible. So limiting the decline in the first place would be ideal.

In the new study, researchers found that among 95 women who used DMPA for two years, those who smoked or had a low calcium intake were at particular risk of significant bone density loss — defined as a decline of at least 5 percent in the spine or hip.

Current smokers were nearly four times more likely to lose that much bone mass as non-smokers were. On the other hand, the risk declined by 19 percent for every 100 milligrams (mg) of calcium a woman got each day.

Drs. Mahbubur Rahman and Abbey B. Berenson, of the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, report the findings in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Helix exercise machine gives fitness fans a leg up

Helix exercise machine gives fitness fans a leg up

Hate your thighs? Despise your butt?

Bay Village resident Lenny Synderman has a solution.

Synderman developed the Helix, the latest machine in the war against flab.

“We see products that work the inner and outer thigh, but they are in the weight room,” said Synderman, creator of the Helix, a non-impact, lateral training machine.

“There hasn’t been any innovation (in workout machines) since the early ’90s,” said Synderman. “Everything works in a sagittal motion, front to back.”

The Helix launched this summer and is being used at Revolution Fitness in the Back Bay, BodyScapes Fitness in Brookline and One2One BodyScapes in Wellesley and Westford.

The machine forces users into a squatting posture, isolating leg and abdominal muscles. The pedals move in a circular motion, both clockwise and counterclockwise.

Revolution Fitness began offering Helixing classes three times a week earlier this month. Derek Christensen, founder of Revolution Fitness, said the 30-minute workout designed around the machine’s cardio and strength training uses has become so popular members need to sign up for it in advance.

Gym regular Rachel Sternstein, 31, has incorporated the Helixing class into her workout routine.

“I’m four-months pregnant and I’m still doing it. It’s not jarring,” said Sternstein, who lives in the Back Bay. “It’s difficult, but it’s only 30 minutes.”

I tried the class, and my legs felt like lead after the first five minutes. This workout is not for weekend warriors.

Snyderman estimates a Helix workout burns 600-800 calories per hour.

“I like it because, especially for women, it lifts your butt,” Sternstein said.

Health is the general condition of a person in all aspects. It is also a level of functional and/or metabolic efficiency of an organism, often implicitly human.

At the time of the creation of the World Health Organization (WHO), in 1948, health was defined as being “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”.
