Connecting Magnesium and Osteoporosis with Kristen Bowen

Osteoporosis occurs when the body loses too many bones. It causes the bones to become weak and brittle, resulting in pain even with mild stress to the body. Osteoporosis affects men and women, but older women who are past menopause are at the highest risk because menopause is accompanied by lower estrogen levels. Magnesium deficiency is always associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis. Today we’re joined by Kristen Bowen, the founder of Living the Good Life Naturally.
