Bone Health

An adult human has 206 bones, which are constantly being renewed and remodelled. Bones perform several important roles in the body. Bones form a framework that supports the body and protects soft organs. They are an essential part of movement because muscles attach here and the arrangement of bones determines the type of movement that can be done.Bones are important storehouses of minerals, including the major buffer, calcium. They also contain an inner core of marrow that produces blood and immune cells.

Most people do not think about bone health until they are in their later years. This is a mistake because significant increases in bone density can only be made in childhood or early adulthood (up to age 30). For the remainder of our lives the goal is to maintain our bones.

Help Maintain Healthy Bones by:

  • Taking a high quality Calcium Supplement.
  • Eating plenty of vegetables (for their high mineral content).
  • Avoiding coffee and other caffeinated beverages (they leach calcium from the bones).
  • Exercising regularly to maintain bone mass.
  • Tracking your pH and maintaining an alkaline state.
  • Balance hormones with essential fatty acids and herbs.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a silent painless disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break. If not prevented or if left untreated, osteoporosis can progress painlessly until a bone breaks.

Women are four times more likely than men to develop the disease and often have a hard time getting all of the calcium they need to maintain strong bones. Three out of four get less than the recommended intake of 1200 mgs daily with the greater population getting less than half. At this rate, it's not uncommon for women to develop osteoporosis and to suffer fractures easily. And it's not only the lack of calcium in the diet that may be causing the disease, but lifestyle choices as well. Smoking and too much alcohol both weaken our bones, while the lack of weight-bearing exercise hinders the capability to build and maintain bone strength. Primary osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to enhanced bone fragility and increased fracture risk. It is also characterized by an abnormal mineral/collagen ratio.

Primary osteoporosis represents bone mass loss unassociated with any other chronic illness. It is related to aging; loss of the gonadal function in females and the aging process in males.

Osteoporosis in men has recently been recognized as an important health problem, as almost 30% of all hip fractures and up to 20% of symptomatic vertebral fractures occur in men. Osteoporosis is insidious because you can't see or feel what's happening. Most people who have the disease don't know it, until a bone breaks. Though the obvious problems usually occur later in life, we now know that the invisible damage begins earlier - much earlier than most of us realize. A woman's estrogen levels can drop when she over-exercises or under-eats. One sign of low estrogen is missed periods and this can affect your bone density. Most young women have normal cycles and enjoy the natural protection of estrogen, which plays a vital role in bone health. But as our estrogen production slows, bone loss begins. Starting around age 35 we lose up to one percent of our bone mass each year. These losses accelerate rapidly after menopause.
