Preventing osteoporosis should start early. Physical activity

there is no sign, almost three-quarters of those with fragile bones

do not know about it. By

risk of fractures. Get a bone density test. If your doctor

does not offer, ask him. One

with the most accurate test is called Dara. It's painless,

takes only a few minutes, and almost 100% accuracy. You know whether bone mass is normal or below normal. If she had, you must take action to stop bone loss and build

new bone as soon as possible before the weakened bone breaks. WHAT IS

osteopenia? Osteopenia >> << like a "mild case of osteoporosis." This means that bones

started to lose weight, but still the risk of infringement is

WHAT YOU CAN DO

If you had one or more fractures ... if you are in pain ... If you have trouble breathing or digestion .. if you are short ... if you leaned

("hump widow"), you can be helped. You can stop the destructive bone

process and even add bone mass. Here's how:

1. Develop good posture body alignment exercises. When you straighten

body alignment, back pain released

breathing lasix generic and digestion improves, and you will be less

fall. If you have widow's hump, it will be somewhat reduced. You will become a little higher and better. 2. Make sure you get enough calcium and vitamin D. 3. Exercise. No matter how fragile may be, is safe >> << exercises from low level that can help create

particular bone. Some exercises

can really hurt if you have a decrease in bone mass. (See)

Any twisting or bending of the spine can cause compression fracture. When you do bending exercises, back bends or leans forward,

crushing or fracture when the spine was

dropped from osteoporosis. Do crunches, squats, straight leg raises
