» Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is becoming one of the most common disorders in the West. We
are extremely sorry that you have had it in such a young age .There are
numbers other risk factors for osteoporosis, including but not limited
to aging, dietary habits, lifestyle, family history, chronic use of drug
and long term exposures to alcohol and tobacco. The clinical implications
of osteoporosis include bone fracture after minimal trauma and prolonged
recovery. Injuries often result from a (relatively low-impact) fall from
standing height, subsequently leading to fractures of the vertebrae, wrists,
hips, humerus, and tibia.
Treatment for osteoporosis always includes exercise and the right amount of calcium in the diet. Calcium pills may also be taken if your diet is not providing enough calcium to keep your bones strong. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium.
A well-balanced diet with calcium-rich foods plus calcium and vitamin D supplements may not be enough to protect bones in all people. Everyone's body and family history are different. Some people may need to take medications.
Evidence shows that nutritional therapy can help in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.Some studies have suggested that vegetarians may be at lower risk of osteoporosis than non-vegetarians.
The ancient, tested, natural herbal formulas of traditional Chinese medicine offer promise for treating the root causes of osteoporosis and bone disease, providing the body with a beneficial environment and conditions for maximizing bone health.
