AL Bayroutya Running. Support your bones they support you. (More Information)
The Inter-Lebanon Road Running & Athletics Club is a non-profit organization for runners supervised by the Lebanese Ministry of Youth and Sport and affiliated to the Lebanese Athletics Federation.

We are planning a conference on Saturday, 17 April 2010 at 4 PM at Riviera Hotel Beirut. Our main speaker is Bahrain’s number one fitness guru, Myrna Saliba, originally from Becharré. Ten years ago, at the age of 43, Myrna was diagnosed with osteoporosis. She will talk about how she turned her life around, when others may have given up hope.
Myrna is now a certified running coach, personal fitness trainer, wellness coach and public speaker, as well as holding a master’s degree in Physical Education. She has run 19 marathons, one ultra-marathon, six half-marathons, and completed one iron man competition. You can read her story here .
On Sunday, 18 April, Myrna will be running in the 4th edition of the Al Bayroutya women’s 5K race. Details are in here.
We would be grateful if you would circulate the information about both events to members of your society, who are warmly invited to join us for the conference and the 5K women’s race. You are also more than welcome to propose a speaker from your organisation to speak about osteoporosis at the conference.

Steps to optimize bone health and help prevent osteoporosis

Nutrition: Get the daily recommended amounts of calcium and vitamin D; eat fruits and vegetables; avoid excessive alcohol intake.

Exercise: Regular weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening.

Smoking: Avoid smoking; smoking can lead to lower bone density and higher risk of fracture.

Consult your doctor: Talk to your healthcare provider about bone health. Have a bone density test and take medication when appropriate.
