Oh this is so bad:

> In the 19th century German surgeon and anatomist Julius Wolff recognized that healthy bones adapt and change in response to the load placed on them. That is why everyone—but especially women, who are more susceptible than men to osteoporosis—should lift weights as they age

No, weight lifting won't improve bone density, it's running that will

Squats/Deadlifts, not bicep curls with 3lb dumbbells. And yes, it absolutely will improve bone density.
