Symptoms and Prevention of Osteoporosis
from: James HuntBoth women and men suffer from osteoporosis but women are much
more likely to contract the disease. You might think your bones
and strong and unbreakable, but you could be very wrong.
Osteoporosis doesn't show its symptoms until it has become
severe and by that time, there's not much you can do about it.
Osteoporosis is the condition in which your bones become
thinner, fragile and more apt to break. This disease is very
painful until bones break and fractures usually occur in the
hip, spine and wrist. Any bone in your body can be affected by
osteoporosis but the ones that break the most are in the hip
area. This is a most severe break for a person because it
usually requires a hospital stay and surgery. It also could
require a person to walk with a cane because of the break or it
may take away their ability to walk altogether. Death can even
occur from spinal or vertebral injuries due to osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis can be prevented if you start taking calcium when
you're young. Calcium will help keep your bones strong and
unbreakable throughout the rest of your life. So, talk to your
doctor and see how much calcium you should be getting per day.
Once you know the dosage, you can choose the right type of
calcium for you.
Taking calcium doesn't have to be boring anymore. You can choose
from pills, chews or even "candy" to get your recommended dose
of calcium. Pills have been around for ever but the chews are a
slightly new invention. They come in grape, orange and
strawberry flavors and you can suck or chew them until they're
gone. There are also candy calcium chews that taste like caramel
or chocolate. So, there really is no excuse why you aren't
getting calcium every day. Teenagers need to take calcium as
well, to ensure that they don't get osteoporosis one day either.
