Osteoporosis is a disease of weak bones that increase risk of fractures and ultimately decrease the quality of life.
Women are more vulnerable to osteoporosis than men because of things like hormonal imbalance and decreasing bone density after menopause.
Risk Factors for Osteoporosis are age, gender, family history, hormonal changes and lifestyle.
1. Keep your bones as healthy as possible by eating a balanced diet high in calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, and vitamin K.
2. Regular exercise and weight check are necessary to build and maintain strong bones.
3. Use fall prevention techniques such as handrails and grab bars, clearing out fallen threats from the house, wearing proper footwear and bone density screening regularly.
4. Talk to your doctor about hormone replacement treatment (HRT), and use herbal supplements, acupuncture, and chiropractic adjustments for better treatment options.
