I was just reading the
findings of an initial study from the Yale School of Medicine which found a
direct correlation between the depth of the wrinkles on the faces of women and
their measured bone density.
According to the preliminary study, if you're a woman in her 40's or early 50's and your last period was at least 3 years ago, and if you have noticeable facial lines and forehead lines, you may be at risk for low bone density and should either have it tested or you should be taking a whole food mineral supplement.

Of course, you all know
that it's my opinion that all of us, women, men and children, should be on a
whole food, organic calcium/magnesium/potassium supplement. If you
aren't, why not?
Also, we should be getting
at least 400 IU's of Vitamin D3 a day, according to the latest guidelines. I
believe that we need more than that, but that amount is sufficient for children
and those without osteoporosis or osteopenia who are exposed to 20
minutes of sunshine a day.
If your lab D3 levels are below 55-60, according to Dr. Andrew Weil, you need a "real" D supplement. By that I mean not one created in the lab.
