Osteoporosis - What is it? |

What
is Osteoporosis? Remember, bone is alive.
Cells are constantly changing - new bone is made
and old bone is broken down. When you’re young
this happens fast... you reach your peak bone mass in your mid-30's. Although your bone continues this process - they slow
down as you age. Menopause - the dropping estrogen levels - decreases this process dramatically. Bone Health plan - Regular exercise, calcium, and vitamin D (essential
for calcium to be absorbed)
