Frankly speaking, osteoporosis is one of the few things I worry about. However, I was recently struck by reality seeing someone I know showing signs. Why does it take a noticeable incident to cause awareness of a potential health problem?
What do we know about prevention before the damage is done?
-EXERCISE - hard and every day! Participate in weight bearing exercise.
-Eat dairy or take calcium supplements - (Gotta go take my calcium and Vitamin D...)
-Eat our green leafy vegetables
-AVOID cola (including diet cola!)
We mustn't assume it will never happen to us! Better to ere on the conservative side than deal with the broken bones and curved spine in our later year!
