About Osteoporosis

TinkerBellChick asked:


May adolescent girls and and women consume large quantities of soft drinks or tea and coffee rather than milk. How could this affect calcium intake? How could this relate to the development of osteoporosis later in life? What can women do to prevent osteoporosis? Keep in mind that not everyone can eat dairy foods because of allergies to milk and/or lactose intolerance.

People’s bones who suffer from osteoporosis become very thin and weak. “Osteo” origin comes from  the Greek word “osteon” which means bone; “porosis” comes from “poros” – hole, passage. According to the Medilexicon Medical Dictionary, osteoporosis is “reduction in the quantity of bone or atrophy of skeletal tissue; an age-related disorder characterized by decreased bone mass and loss of normal skeletal microarchitecture, leading to increased susceptibility to fractures”.

The treatment of osteoporosis is strongly related to the actual cause of the disease, some of them are hereditary while others come from the lifestyle. Luckily, there is a complex natural cure for osteoporosis from which the person who suffers from this disease will build strong bones which eventually will lead to cure osteoporosis.

Which are the causes that cannot be controlled by us?

Family history – osteoporosis is a hereditary disease, which means that if someone in your family has/had this disease, you are more at risk Sex – women suffer more often from osteoporosis Ethnicity – Asian and white people are most likely to suffer from this disease in comparison to Hispanic or black people

Which causes can be somewhat controlled by us?

Estrogen levels – the estrogen protects the bones so a person with low estrogen is more likely to develop osteoporosis. Menopause will further decrease the level of estrogen for a woman and for post-menopausal woman, doctors recommend women to be vigilant about bone health. Women may lose bone at a rate of 4 to 8% per year for several years after their ovaries stop producing estrogen. Low body weight – petite and small boned women (under 130 pounds) have less bone mass to begin with so extra attention regarding this issue should be paid History of broken bones – the chances of suffering from osteoporosis is increased if you have a history of broken bones

Osteoporosis is also caused by factors which are completely in your control which make this disease somewhat preventable. We will continue this article by presenting a natural osteoporosis treatment from which you will build strong bones.

Calcium – they will give your bones what they need in order to regenerate so in order to build strong bones consume foods that contain calcium Vitamin D – in order to absorb calcium efficiently, you will have to consume vitamin D. Without enough vitamin D in your diet, some of your calcium intake could be going to waste, adversely affecting your bones Other minerals and vitamins – are another natural way to reverse osteoporosis, some examples would be: vitamin B6 and B12, vitamin K, magnesium and phosphorous

Which medical conditions can lead to osteoporosis?

Kidney problems Intestinal problems Nutrient absorption problems Thyroid problems

Which medications lead to the disease?

Antacids with aluminum Some anti-convulsants or anti-seizure medications Thyroid hormones Corticosteroids

The treatment of osteoporosis is real and efficient son people that unfortunately suffer from this disease should not give up because with hope and a strong will, anything can be accomplished. Medicine along with natural osteoporosis treatment (and sport) will bring you the so hoped results. We wish you all the best fighting this uncomfortable disease.

As you get older, your body undergoes many changes.  Changes occur in your skin, your hair, you body shape and even your bones.  As you age, your bones begin to break down faster than your body can rebuild them.  This results in thinnker, weaker bones and often, over time, in a condiditon known as osteoporosis.  Osteoporosis can be a devestating disease if not diagnosed and treated properly.  However, there are at least six myths about this disease that we will discuss.

Many people think that osteoporosis is a normal part of aging.  While it is true that it is normal to lose some bone density as you age, it doesn’t mean that you can’t have good bone strength. Most people think that osteoporosis only affects women.  Did you know that a fifth of everyone diagnosed with osteoporosis is a man?  Another myth is that only older people get osteoporosis.  Your bones usually reach their maximum density around age 35.  But in order to achieve that, you must begin building your bones at a very early age and continue to do so through young adulthodd. Osteoporosis is an inherited disease.  It is true that women who have a history in their family of the disease have a great chance of getting the disease themselves.  However, there are many other factors that can contribute to one coming down with osteoporosis, such as kidney disease, vitamin D deficiency, some hormone and thyroid disorders, among others. Another myth is that osteoporosis cannot be prevented.  If you start young enough, you can prevent osteoporosis with good nutrition, adequate calcium intake and proper exercise.  Weight-bearing exercises and activities such as walking, jogging and dancing are good for osteoporosis prevention.  In addition, it is important to avoid smoking and drinking as they can contribute to your chances of getting osteoporosis. The final myth is that only osteoporosis medications can prevent bone loss.  As discussed earlier, good nutrition and the right type of exercise can go a long way in helping to prevent osteoporosis.

If you have never thought about osteoporosis, it’s never too early to start.  Examine your eating habits and your exercise routine.  Ask you doctor about osteoporosis and let them help you determine if you are ingesting adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D or if you need to take supplement.  It is never too early to start thinking about preventing osteoporosis.
