50 Osteoporosis Fighting Juice Recipes: Making Bones Stronger One Day at a Time through Fast Absorbing Ingredients Instead of Pills

By Joe Correa CSN

Osteoporosis means a ''porous bone''. It is a painful disease described as a decrease in the density of the bones making them weak and fragile. When viewed under the microscope, osteoporotic bones have lost their density and contain an abnormal structure that can easily be recognized as osteoporosis. As a result, bones tend to break easily from a fall or even minor bumps. This silent disease can develop over time without people even noticing it. The sudden breaking of bones is actually the first visible sign of osteoporosis. In this case, you should ask your doctor to perform a bone density test and determine your bone condition.

Bone density decrease usually occurs after 35 years of age, especially in women after menopause making this statistic group extremely prone to osteoporosis. Unfortunately, osteoporosis is a very common condition. Over 55 million people in the USA suffer from low bone mass which could lead to osteoporosis. Some statistics show that every other woman (and one in four-males) at the age of 50 or older is likely to break a bone due to this disease.

The major risk factors that lead to fragile bones are genetics and family history of osteoporosis, a poor diet with a lack of calcium and vitamin D, alcohol consumption and smoking, a history of rheumatoid arthritis, and a low body weight. When combined together, these risk factors could have devastating effects on your bones.

Fortunately, some small lifestyle changes have proven to help improve bone density and prevent osteoporosis. These changes include a healthy and balanced diet, regular and adequate exercise, calcium and vitamin D supplements, and finally avoiding alcohol and cigarettes.
