osteoporosisOsteoporosis is a condition in which bones become fragile and more likely to break. Osteoporosis is a disorder of the skeleton in which the bones weaken and become porous, leading to an increase in the risk of breaking bones (bone fracture). Normal bone is composed of protein, collagen, and calcium. Bones that are affected by osteoporosis can fracture with only a minor fall or injury that normally would not cause a bone fracture. The spine, hips, and wrists are common areas of osteoporosis-related bone fractures, although osteoporosis-related fractures can also occur in almost any skeletal bone area. The symptoms of osteoporosis are not evident until a bone fractures unless you have a bone density test. While women are four times more likely than men to develop osteoporosis, men also suffer from osteoporosis The treatment for osteoporosis involves diet change (avoiding your allergic foods) and taking supplements. click here for osteoporosis treatment Foods that aggravate symptoms of osteoporosis include coffee, milk and milk products, corn, refined white sugar, soft drinks (pop, soda), and artificial sweeteners.
