Do you have “Porous Bones”?

Osteoporosis means “Porous Bones”. It’s a disease that weakens bones, and once you have it, you’re at a greater risk for sudden and unexpected bone fractures. Osteoporosis means that you have less bone mass and strength. The disease often develops without any symptoms or pain, and it is usually not discovered until the weakened bones cause painful fractures. Most of these are fractures of the hip, wrist and spine.

The precursor to Osteoporosis in Osteopenia. If you are slender, of Northern European descent, and fair-skinned or blonde, you are most likely a poster child for Osteopenia. It’s very important to be proactive by making healthy lifestyle choices. Not smoking or misusing substances also decreases your risk. Vitamin supplements that contribute to bone health, such as vitamin D, calcium, and vitamin K should also be a staple in your diet to avoid bone weakness later in life.

Whether you have osteopenia or osteoporosis, you can build your bone density back up. Lifting weights, participating in pilates and strength training will help to promote new bone growth and maintain existing bone structure. 

However, if you are on a drug like Fosamax or Boniva, they STOP your body’s natural ability to produce bone. Those drugs do produce bone but a very poor quality bone with a high probability for breaking later.
Having worked marketing some of these pharmaceuticals, and reading the Physicians Information (PI), I personally would refuse to take those drugs. I would opt to improve my bone health naturally—focusing on proper exercise, nutrition and supplementation.

I believe in taking a proactive approach to my healthcare. I fully respect the medical community, but I came to realize that we need to do our own due diligence when it comes to health. Medication is necessary at times, but there is so much more we can do proactively, especially for prevention—taking the right, proven supplements that could make the difference..
