Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease characterized by loss of bone strength >> << and is a major cause of fractures (broken bones)

especially in women who are beyond menopause. However, >> << strengthen bones, slow bone loss and prevent falls

, you can help prevent or consider the situation and prevent fractures.

The body is constantly at work of destruction and restoration

bone. Specialized cells called osteoblasts bone pull

calcium, magnesium and phosphorus in the blood to build bone mass

. Even a healthy diet and regular exercise

about in 30 years the body begins to lose more

bone than it is. Usually there are no obvious signs

osteoporosis until a fracture occurs or vertebral collapses

causing loss of height and hump on his back (widows hump

). Osteoporosis affects 20 million people in the U.S. is 1. 5000000 fractures annually. Two hundred

50 000 of these 1. 5000000 fractures hip fractures

and 300,000 persons (20% of fractures) it leads to death. From 1. 2000000, which do not die, 600,000 (40% of fractures)

require long-term nursing care because of complications. Osteoporosis is four times more common in women than in men,

, and the most common form of the disease in postmenopausal osteoporosis

. Fortunately, osteoporosis completely prevent the

and cured with proper nutrition and exercise. Yes, you read that right, he said absolutely prevented

and treatment. For many years it was thought that the loss

bone density and osteoporosis are uncontrollable, inevitable and irreversible

part of aging. This statistic was based on

aging population, which did very little

stop osteoporosis from affecting their interests. Welcome to the new era of health alternatives. The time

medical myths of the past are now completely abolished. The time when people no longer fear the statistical average for

taking responsibility for their own health. Thus, aging affects

your bone density, but fragile small bones are not inevitable,

uncontrollable or irreversible. Osteoporosis Disease Type I osteoporosis is caused by hormonal changes while type II

due to dietary deficiencies. Osteoporosis can also be caused by

major surgery, corticosteroid drugs (anti-inflammatory drugs

), cirrhosis, inflammatory bowel disease Crohn >> <<, cystic fibrosis, and hormone deficiencies. Typically, osteoporosis is diagnosed bone scanning densitometry, and

goal in the treatment to save weight, the remainder

and basic structure of bones and try to restore and reconstruct the affected area

bone. After menopause, women at high risk of osteoporosis, as

once they hit menopause, their bodies stop producing estrogen

(one of the hormones regulating bone). Since estrogen went, women begin to lose bone >> << speed of two to five percent per year over the first 6:55

years after menopause. This means that half the women over the age of 50 will be

be associated with osteoporosis fracture in their lives. Osteoporosis >> << less common in men, with one in eight men suffering from

associated with osteoporosis fracture in their lives. Aging men

suffer a decrease of testosterone and p >> << testosterone turns into estrogen that causes the loss of testosterone

similar problems as for men, estrogen makes women. The following are also risk factors for osteoporosis: Age: After 30 years >> << body begins to lose more bone than it is, if proper attention is paid

healthy diet, regular exercise to strengthen

bones and additions as needed to prevent deficiencies. Nutrition: A diet low in calcium

and some trace elements in combination with a reduction

natural hydrochloric acid in the stomach can accelerate osteoporosis

process as much as 70% or more, making nutrition a

most important factor in the development and progression

, disease. Disabilities: Those with arthritis

which limits mobility and those on medications that make them

non-stationary or with low vision will have

increased risk of fractures in the elderly. Heredity: Family History >> << fractures may indicate problems with absorption of calcium absorption. Naturally small size with less bone mass to begin with

also can accelerate this risk. Other risk factors include white or Asian to being thin,

to be inactive (regular exercise proven to strengthen bones

), not being pregnant, have gastric or small bowel resection

or long-term lasix 15 mg therapy glucocorticosteroids, Smoking

and / or alcohol abuse, suffering from hyperthyroidism and hyperparathyroidism

, and prolonged use of anticonvulsant drugs. Prevention and treatment of osteoporosis are four steps to prevent osteoporosis. Not a single step

enough to prevent osteoporosis but all four of May. Calcium Calcium is necessary for the heart, muscles and nerves to function properly

and for blood clotting. Lack of calcium is

contribute to the development of osteoporosis. National Food Research

revealed that many women and young girls

consume less than half the recommended amount of calcium

growth and maintain healthy bones. Depending on your age, appropriate calcium intake falls

from 1000 to 1300 mg per day. If you have difficulty obtaining

enough calcium from food, you can take a calcium supplement

to cover the difference. Vitamin D is necessary for the body absorb calcium. No

enough vitamin D, you will be unable to absorb calcium from >> << foods you eat and your body will take calcium from bones

. Vitamin D comes from two sources: by >> << skin after direct exposure to sunlight and of diet >>. << Experts recommend daily intake of 400 to 800

IU per day, which can also be obtained from fortified milk

products, egg yolks, fish liver and sea. Exercise Exercise is also important for bone health. If you exercise regularly

in childhood and adolescence, you are more likely >> << to reach your peak bone density than those who are inactive. The best exercise for bones bearing exercise

such as walking, dancing, jogging, walking, climbing, racket

, Sports and Tourism. If you have been sedentary most of adult life

you should consult with your doctor >> << providers before beginning any exercise program. Bone mineral density tests bone mineral density test (IPC) is the only way to diagnose osteoporosis and

determine the risk for future fractures. Since osteoporosis can develop undetected for decades to

failure occurs, early diagnosis is very important. ABOUT measure bone density (bone mass) and

to determine if you need treatment to help

maintain your bone mass, prevent further bone loss and reduce fracture risk

. Bone mineral density (BMD) test is a special type >> << test that is accurate, painless and noninvasive. Medications to prevent and treat currently bisphosphonates (alendronate and ryzedronat), calcitonin,

estrogen, parathyroid hormone and raloxifene are approved

with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for prevention

and / or treatment of osteoporosis. . << >>
