admin Osteoporosis is a disease where the strength of bones is less than normal, making them more susceptible to fracture, or breaking, than normal bones. Any bone will break if subjected to enough force, but a bone with osteoporosis may break with very little trauma, or sometimes with no trauma at all. With this e-book you can know how to prevent and treatment osteoporosis
Sample
If you have osteoporosis, or low bone density, there are medications that can strengthen your bones and reduce the future risk of fractures. Medications can help whether or not you have already had a fracture, whether you are male or female, and even if you are very old. Since there are many medications for osteoporosis, it is important that you have a good understanding of the risks and benefits with each of them. The more you know, the better you are able to select the one that is best for you.
Please remember that no medication will work well unless you take care of yourself in the first place. This means having a good nutritious diet, getting enough calcium and vitamin D every day, being physically active when possible, and avoiding smoking and excess alcohol. You can ‘fall-proof’ your home to lower your risk of falling. If you fall frequently, wearing padded under-shorts called ‘hip protectors’ can help to cushion your fall and reduce the risk of hip fracture.
To learn more about osteoporosis, consider attending the monthly meetings of the Osteoporosis Support Group, sponsored by the Osteoporosis Foundation of New Mexico. You can listen to free presentations by osteoporosis experts, and have all the time you need to ask questions and discuss your concerns about your bones.
