Anthea Turner opens up on her health battle with bone condition and reveals the 'everyday changes' she has made to her life to manage it
Anthea Turner has opened up about her health battle with a bone condition and the 'everyday changes' she has made to her life in order to manage it.
The TV presenter, 64, suffers from osteopenia - a condition where you have lower bone density than the average for your age.
If left untreated, osteopenia can lead to osteoporosis, which is a health condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break.
Anthea was diagnosed with osteopenia in her late forties following a routine health screening and before this had 'no idea' that she had it or that it could 'become much more serious'.
The Blue Peter star explained: 'I'm not a smoker or a drinker and I've always had a healthy diet.
