Osteoporosis affects the bones.

It mainly affects the strength of the bones and makes them more susceptible to risks of fractures.

Symptoms of Osteoporosis is when the bone tissue declines and makes the persons bones more fragile and prone to fractures.

The skeleton is an integral part of our body,and we need the skeleton to keep our body upright. Collagen protein

and calcium phosphate are two very important components within our bones. To keep the bones strong these two components work hand in hand. Normally there is a balance of repair and degeneration before you are about 30 years old.

We lose the ability for our bones to repair as we age in years.One supplement that can help is human growth hormone. They say it will increase bone density,and can even reverse osteoporosis. Unfortunately women are the ones who suffer mostly from osteoporosis,and the women who suffer mainly, are the ones that have been through the menopausal stage.

This illness is being suffered by millions of women. Sadly figures show that this illness is rising yearly. It is so important that women take care of their health, in particular their bones. There are several known causes for osteoporosis. Top of the list in the causes of osteoporosis is age combined with the effects of menopause.

Women that have found themselves in this difficult situation experience hormonal imbalance, which in turn is felt by the bones. Another cause of osteoporosis is genetics.

It is more likely that women who have a family history of osteoporosis are more likely to suffer with it in later life.

It is difficult to cure once osteoporosis has set in. Osteoporosis prevention can to a certain degree be prevented by looking after your bones when younger and taking a good hgh supplement when in your late 20’s.

Osteoporosis treatment can also be significantly improved and lessen the chances of you acquiring this illness by following the tips below:

* Try and sustain from drinking and smoking

* Healthy eating

* Drink milk regularly

* Have a regular intake of calcium

* Try and exercise regularly

* Have regular check-ups

You need to be checked by your doctor if you start to experience lower back pain or neck pain. These could be osteoporosis symptoms, so do not take chances. Curvature of the spine can be caused by Osteoporosis if left

untreated. You may find it very difficult to carry out day to day tasks as one of the symptoms of Osteoporosis is that you may now easily break your bones.

Remember,prevention is better than cure. Osteoporosis treatment is best before the signs of this illness show themselves. The intake of calcium products should be taken whilst still young to help with Osteoporosis prevention.

Try to ensure that your children drink and enjoy milk at an early age. Milk will strengthen the bones and give them the nutrients that they require as they grow older. You will find plenty of calcium products being advertised in the market. An example of some of these products are listed below:

* Yoghurt

* Cheese

* Milk Green and leafy vegetables

* Fish i.e.:Salmon and sardines

* Ice cream

* Juice Squash

* Dry fruits

You should always be conscious of ones health. As it is part of your DNA,you are more prone to certain diseases.

Exercise to help your bones with the stress. Staying strong through exercise makes it harder for some diseases and ailments to attack your system.And remember that important human growth hormone supplement.

Those who suffer from osteoporosis will know the constant dangers they face everyday. Extra care must be taken by the sufferer to prevent the falls, knocks and stumbles that wouldn’t bother an average healthy person, but can often result in fractures or breaks to the bones of a person with osteoporosis.

With osteoporosis, the bones of the body lose their density and strength, resulting in them becoming more brittle and easier to break. It is quite often seen as a disease of the elderly where shrinkage of the spine occurs, and the person quite literally seems to shrink, sometimes very rapidly. The typical ‘dowager’s hump’ is the excessive curvature of the upper part of the spine resulting from the collapse of the spinal column, which is caused by osteoporosis.

But osteoporosis does not limit itself to the elderly alone, as people of all ages can develop this condition through different factors such as a sedentary lifestyle, or a much reduced activity level through injury or illness, heavy drinking and smoking, eating a diet that is low in calcium, overactive thyroid gland, liver disease, or lack of oestrogen due to menopause.

Women often suffer more from osteoporosis than men, often due to the rapid reduction of oestrogen during the menopause, and the condition affects more women than strokes, heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, and breast cancer. About half of women aged between 50 to 75 suffer from some osteoporosis.

An injury to the spine can be extremely painful and debilitating, so what can be done to help strengthen your bones and protect your spine, and other vulnerable bones and joints?

One obvious answer to help with this condition would be to increase calcium foods in the diet, or to add a calcium supplement in tablet or powder form. But don’t just limit your thinking to just calcium containing dairy foods alone, such as milk, cheese and eggs. There are other foods like green leafy vegetables, herbs, vitamins and minerals you can include that also contain sources of calcium, and some that complement your efforts by helping your body to absorb more calcium, to slow the loss, or even hang on to it for longer.

Try to increase, or introduce the following into your diet:

Fish bones are a great source of natural calcium. Try to choose fresh or tinned fish where you can eat up the bones too.

Magnesium may be beneficial in preventing the progression of osteoporosis. Try taking a supplement, adding brewers yeast, or eating foods rich in magnesium such as nuts and soyabeans.

Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, so you will be getting extra by eating oily fish such as mackerel, sardines and salmon, which you are eating to get the calcium from the bones as mentioned above. Vitamin D is not called the sunshine vitamin for nothing, and by far the best way of getting a dose is by taking a walk in the sunshine. Vitamin D is produced in the skin as a natural reaction to sunlight, and the body gets most of its Vitamin D in this way.

Increasing your intake of boron is beneficial. Boron is a trace mineral, which can be found in plants. Recent research has indicated that post-menopausal women who increase their intake of boron can prevent calcium loss in bones, so tucking into extra serving of organically grow fruit and root vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, beetroot, turnips and parsnips can help keep your bones healthy. (Good quality soil is rich in boron, so make sure you buy organic wherever possible).

If you have fluoride in your drinking water, this can help by stimulating new bone growth.

Tea drinkers will already know about the health benefits of this popular beverage, but if you like herbal tea too, you may be pleased to know that a cup of comfrey leaf tea can aid in healing. Calcium containing herbal teas include parsley, kelp, dandelion leaf, horsetail, and nettle. Adding or increasing these herbal teas can be very beneficial to osteoporosis sufferers.

Low or no-impact exercise is recommended for sufferers of osteoporosis, such as walking and swimming. Weight-bearing exercises such as weight training with light weights can also help to keep the muscles and tendons strong that support the spine and joints.

With back problems, keeping your core muscles strong and tight is vitally important if you want to protect your spine from further injury, so taking a regular pilates class or course would be a great way of achieving a strong core, while trying to avoid jarring exercises such as jogging and high-impact aerobics which could result in injury.

Edith Lingenfelter asked:


Osteoporosis literally means “porous bones”. A lack of calcium is the major cause of osteoporosis; a silent disease in which bones lose some of their calcium and other minerals making them brittle and fragile. It does not give an advanced warning. Usually, the first sign is severe low back or hip pain, or a broken bone.

With aging, almost everyone experiences some loss of bone mass. However, it is more common among women than men because women have about 30% less bone mass to begin with. Also, estrogen appears to play an important part in female bone metabolism, which is why women lose bone mass at an accelerated rate during the first 5 to 10 years after menopause. Estrogen protects the skeletal system by promoting the deposit of calcium in bone.

You experience your peak bone mass around the age of 35. After the age of 35, the body creates less new bone and is less efficient in absorbing and storing dietary calcium. This results in the loss of bone mass of about 1% a year. Until you hit menopause, then you lose about 2 to 4% a year for about the next 10 years.

Once you stop producing bone mass your body still needs calcium for functions, so your body has to take the calcium from your bones leaving them brittle and fragile.

Other causes of osteoporosis are an inability to absorb enough calcium through the intestine, prolonged jaundice, a calcium-phosphorus imbalance, lactose intolerance, a gastrectomy and a lack of exercise.

Certain drugs; such as, anticoagulants, anticonvulsants, thyroid medications and high doses of steroids can also be a factor in calcium loss.

Healthy bone metabolism requires a certain amount of stress on the bones. Therefore; regular exercise that gives weight-bearing bones a good workout is essential. Good bone building exercises include walking, jogging, bike riding, dancing, tennis or other activities that require moving about.

The best ways to prevent osteoporosis is to build strong bones early in life, especially under the age of 35 while still building bone mass. Then take steps to keep the bones healthy by eating more calcium rich foods or taking supplements.

A diet adequate in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin C and vitamin D is the best prevention and treatment for osteoporosis. Additional minerals important to the health of your bones include boron, copper, manganese, silicon and zinc.

Calcium is the largest and most difficult molecule to utilize. It is most effective when taken in smaller doses throughout the day and at bedtime. When taken at night it will also promote a sound sleep.

Magnesium plays a role in the formation of bone metabolism. It assists in calcium uptake.

Phosphorus is needed for bone formation. A balance of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus should always be maintained.

Vitamin C is important for collagen and connective tissue.

Vitamin D is required for calcium and phosphorus absorption and utilization. It is especially important for normal growth and development of bones. The body manufactures vitamin D when it is exposed to sunlight and is found in fortified milk and multivitamins.

Boron improves calcium absorption and is needed in trace amounts for healthy bones.

Copper aids in the formation of bone. It is essential for the formation of collagen, which makes up the connective tissue of the bone matrix. One of the early signs of copper deficiency is osteoporosis.

Manganese is vital in mineral metabolism. It is required for normal bone growth and reproduction. However, do not take calcium and manganese together - they will compete for absorption.

Silicon (silica) is necessary for calcium utilization and bone strength. Silica tablets contain high amounts of calcium in a form that is easily absorbed.

Zinc is important for calcium uptake and is important to the health of your bones. A deficiency impairs the body’s ability to utilize proteins.

Excellent sources of easy to assimilate calcium are buckwheat, buttermilk, cheese, dandelion greens, flounder, kefir, kelp, molasses, nuts and seeds, oats, seaweed, tofu, most vegetables, wheat germ, whole wheat products and yogurt.

Herbals you might want to try if you have osteoporosis include feverfew, horsetail (silicon), oatstraw (a form of silica) and shavegrass.

If you are worried that you are at risk for osteoporosis, you may want to consult with your doctor to discuss an exercise and prevention plan.

arning signs of osteoporosis

Unfortunately, there aren’t any.

The fact is, if you’re 60 or older, there’s a nearly 1 in: 2 chance you have osteoporosis. But early on, osteoporosis is a silent disease, so you may not see any signs. However, eventually it can lead to broken bones or the disfiguring dowager’s hump. The good news is, if osteoporosis is detected early enough, its effects may be prevented.

A simple, painless exam called a Bone Density Test can measure the health of your bones. Ask your healthcare professional if this test should be part of your health evaluation, like your mammogram and Pap smear. Because if your bones are thinning, there are treatment options that can help strengthen them, and let you continue to lead an active, independent life.

Osteoporosis makes your bones weak and more likely to break. Anyone can develop osteoporosis, but it is common in older women. As many as half of all women and a quarter of men older than 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis.

What are risk factors for developing and causes of osteoporosis?

Getting older Being small and thin Having a family history of osteoporosis Taking certain medicines Being a white or Asian woman Having osteopenia, which is low bone mass

Osteoporosis is a silent disease. You might not know you have it until you break a bone. A bone mineral density test is the best way to check your bone health. To keep bones strong, eat a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, exercise and do not smoke. If needed, osteoporosis treatment medicines can also help.
