Is Osteoporosis a preventable condition?

ore that can be answered it is really important to realise the extent of the potential problem that we face, as a population.

Bone thinning, is now a growing threat to more people than ever.

Not only is the rise in male osteoporosis progressing it is becoming a real problem in our children. NO LONGER is it a problem just for older and pregnant women. It is a silent epidemic that is spreading. In a survey in USA they tested 1000 13yr olds and they ALL had osteoporosis. A lot of this is to do with poor diet and increasing use fizzy drinks and lack of exercise.

Osteoporosis or thinning and weakening of bones is now becoming more than a disease of pregnant women and old ladies. Young people AND men are increasingly susceptible to Osteoporosis nowadays.

People will disregard back pain, aches, tiredness etc as "just a hectic lifestyle" and no thought is given to the possible onset of osteoporosis.

Why would we if we don't really know about it?

Some known Osteoporosis factors:

  • Every 3 minutes someone has a fracture in the UK
  • People with Osteoporosis are getting younger
  • 1:3 women will get it and 1:12 men, men are really at risk now – the 1:12 figure for men is probably out of date now it is possibly nearer 1:6!!!
  • There are more deaths following a hip fracture than ovarian cancer



Prevention is far better than cure.

Prevention is also SO much simpler than a cure!

  • Take responsibility for your own health
  • 20 minutes walking per day is a basic excellent way to increase bone mass.
  • Regular healthy diet is a key to keeping good bone and skeletal health.
  • There is now more evidence that supplementation is increasing in importance these days, as nearly all our food is low in the vital nutrients especially minerals which have a huge impact on bone structure.

Keep junk food and fizzy drinks to a minimum! It would be crazy to say "don't ever" these days, but this is an area that needs to be considered seriously, especially if there are health issues in evidence. Again - prevention is better than cure!

Some relevant health issues:

  • Constant tiredness
  • Aches and pains for no particular reason
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Digestive Problems
