Preventing Osteoporosis and Osteopenia
Osteoporosis actually derives from the term “porous bones.” When you have osteoporosis, your bones become weak and brittle. These porous bones can be so brittle that even a mild bang or stress like bending over can cause a fracture. A major cause of this weakness in the bone structure has lack of calcium, phosphorus or other minerals in the bones.
When someone suffers from osteoporosis, it is usually just a matter of time before they fracture a bone. There are many things one can do to both prevent a reduction in bone density as well as improve the condition and health of your bones.
