Bone Loss - Osteoporosis

BONE LOSS

Bone loss is a silent effect occuring in our body. It has no symptoms and occurs slowly over the years. Many women have no idea that they’ve suffered bone loss until one day they trip, fall, and fracture a bone.
Though bone loss affects both women and men as they age, women suffer the health consequences in far greater numbers.It’s estimated that one in every two women over 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in her lifetime.

Although we may think of bone as hard and durable, in fact it is living tissue that grows and changes throughout our lives. Old bone is constantly being removed and new bone formed. In childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood, new bone formation outpaces the removal of old bone. As we age, however, that process reverses.
Now new studies show that Anti-inflammatory diets, which tend to be high in vegetables, fruits, fish and whole grains , etc. could boost bone health and prevent fractures in some women.

Main Cause are:-

• A lack of calcium or vitamin D
• Not enough exercise, especially strength training
• Smoking
• Too much alcohol
• Carbonated beverages
