Why Healthy Bones are Important to You

Silently and without warning, bones may begin to weaken early in life if you do not have a healthy diet and the right kinds of physical activity. Many people already have weak bones and don’t know it. Others are making choices that will weaken their bones later.

There are several kinds of bone disease. The most common is osteoporosis. In this disease, bones lose minerals like calcium. They become fragile and break easily. With osteoporosis, your body’s frame becomes like the frame of a house damaged by termites. Termites weaken your house like osteoporosis weakens your bones. If you have severe fractures from osteoporosis, you risk never walking again. Weak bones can break easily. This can be fatal.

Fragile bones are not painful at first. Unfortunately, most people don’t realize they have weakened bones until one breaks. By that time, it is hard to make your bones strong again.

The good news is that you are never too old or too young to improve your bone health. There are many things you can do to keep bones strong and prevent fractures. At all ages, a diet with enough calcium and vitamin D, together with weight-bearing physical activity every day, can prevent problems later. You can work with your doctor to check out warning signs or risk factors. When you are older, you can have your bones tested and take medicine to strengthen them.

Additional Information

Knowing and understanding what causes a condition you are suffering from is very important because it gives a leading light on what measures you can take to block as many of the causes as possible. Age and Genetics are what we can refer to as the most common natural causes of bone loss. Most of us start losing approximately 1% of our bone every year once we pass our mid thirties with women losing a greater percentage (4-5%) after menopause. By the time we hit mid-sixties; we lose about 30% of our bone mass.

Genetics also play a role in the likelihood of developing osteoporosis; if your father, mother, aunt or someone in your family’s generation suffered broken bones for example at some age, chances are high that you may also suffer the same. Other causes include lifestyle factors like sitting for long durations, stress, dieting, alcohol, smoking, over-exercising and poor eating patterns characterized by lack of fruits and vegetables. Other causes of bone loss are simply as a result of medical conditions like drugs, diseases (like Asthma and cancer) and treatments for chronic inflammatory complications like Leukemia and Arthritis [1].
