The risk of osteoporosis increases as men age. Studies show that men are losing bone at a rate of approximately 0.5% each year. It is a well-known fact that close to 80% of patients will be dead within two years of their first hip fracture. Osteoporosis, like most degenerative diseases, is insidious--there are only a few symptoms that can suggest that you might have such a problem until it is too late. You may also be surprised to find out that some of the very popular types of “healthy” diets and exercises, common health conditions and frequently used medications may actually significantly aggravate bone loss. The mainstream medicine does recommend routine bone density scans for women.  However, no matter the results of bone densitometry, it is important to take proper action for prevention.

We have been taught that calcium aids to build healthy bones, which is true, but what people are often not taught is that such deposition in bones does not happen just because we feed our body calcium. It takes the right mix of other vitamins, minerals, and hormones that naturally occur in our bodies to really make sure that the calcium is stored in the bone instead of in other organs such as blood vessels, kidneys or joints. However, that right mix is lost with normal aging. Bone health could be further aggravated by illnesses, medications or wrong diet, exercise, and lifestyle.
