Osteoporosis Prevention: Start Early!


A main focus of the osteoporosis literature is treatment by various drugs which are targeted toward prevention of post-menopausal fractures.  However, a recent review by physicians at New York University Medical Center in the journal Clinical Obstetrics & Gynecology stresses the view that "…no treatment is as effective as prevention."

The authors cite that by the age of 18, most women have 92 percent of their total bone mineral content, and by age 26, they have attained 99 percent.  This implies the importance of establishing behaviors, such as activity and nutrition that promote bone health early in life.  Take the following steps to prevent bone loss and promote bone strength:

1.      Exercise: Weight-bearing exercise is known to have a positive effect on bone strength. 
2.      Nutrition: Vitamin D and calcium intake is critical to for bone health.  An increase in the consumption of dairy products, as well as mushrooms and certain types of fish (including salmon, sardines and tuna) allow the body to maintain stronger bones.
3.      Lifestyle: Avoiding excessive alcohol intake (more than 3 drinks per day) and smoking can have a negative effect on bone maintenance.  Avoiding or reducing these behaviors will reduce the risk of bone density loss.

The bottom line is that many lifestyle choices before menopause can markedly reduce the risk of osteoporosis in later life.

  3. Very useful information and Osteoporosis itself has no symptoms its main consequence is the increased risk of bone fractures. Osteoporotic fractures occur in situations where healthy people would not normally break a bone they are therefore regarded as fragility fractures http://aesm.ca/osteoarthritis-of-the-knee/.

  6. Sports, whether spirited or recreational, are great ways to keep fit, spend some time outdoors and have a great time. However, all sports come with some degree of risk for injury. While adults risk injury from playing their favorite sports, children are particularly prone to suffer an injury while playing or practicing their favorite athletics. With all of the great school and leisure athletic opportunities here, sports injury in Twin Falls is a common problem.Click Here

  22. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
