Osteoporosis Causes

Osteoporosis Causes
Are you afraid of developing osteopenia or osteoporosis?
We keep hearing new theories about osteoporosis causes.

As an estimated 90% of women over 75 have experienced a bone
fracture, so many studies are being conducted.

Osteopenia CausesOsteopenia Caused by Age

The recent work of a research team at the University of Arkansas
reveals that aging causes osteoporosis – not reduction of estrogen as was
formerly believed.

That would make sense when we consider that an increasing number of
men are developing osteoporosis. It was formerly thought to be the disease
of older women.  Consider the term “dowager’s hump” to describe the
disfigurement of osteoporosis.  That would exclude men.

So, let me share the case of Betty who had symptoms of aging while
still in her 40’s
. Maybe you, like most people associate aging with the fact
of getting more years on the calendar.  But more years and aging are not
the same.   The real cause of aging is a lack of energy in every cell of your
body. Read More→

Do you know why a DEXA Scan
is not reliable for osteopenia?

I have often been asked if I get
bone density scans.

My answer is always that a DEXA
bone density scan for osteopenia ia
not reliable.

In fact, you may be worried
that you are in serious
trouble with weak and less than
normal bones, when your test is not at all trustworthy.  There are
several problems with DEXA scans.  A few of them are:

1. You usually don’t learn anything about the condition of your bones
until 1 or 2 years after the first  scan

2. The scan may be referencing the wrong spot for  the second scan

3. Looking at a picture does not tell you what is happening inside
the bone.

Best Exercises For Osteopenia

Carole was desperate to discover
the best exercises for osteopenia.
A recent bone test had revealed that
she had Osteopenia.  Her doctor had
encouraged her to take Fosamax.

As Carole was a firm believer
in natural treatment rather than
chemicals, she was hesitant to
start what sounded to her like a
long term relationship with the
drug. And after she learned the
cost of the drug, she was even
more determined not to take it.

Carole sought my advice and I
immediately encouraged her
to read my free report about the dangers of such medications.
That totally convinced her not to take the drug.  But she
felt her current condition showed that she needed to make
some changes in her life-style in order to defeat osteopenia.

After reading 7 Secrets to Reverse Osteopenia and
Osteoporosis
,
she realized that her main dietary deficiency
had been magnesium, so she immediately updated the amount
she was taking and added a few other recommendations to her
diet.

Does the statement that beer may help
prevent osteoporosis sound strange to you?

It did to me too, as I am always hesitant to
promote any product that may become
additive and cause other problems for the
user. So when I saw that headline from the
United Press International, I immediately
checked out the article.

I learned  that  it was researchers at the University of
California, Davis,  who found that beer might help
prevent osteoporosis.  The  results of the study using
commercial beer production, were taken from Charles
Bamforth, the lead author in the study.

Glass of MilkWhat is better than calcium for osteoporosis?

If your first thought when osteoporosis is mentioned is calcium,  the “drink milk” ads have really accomplished their purpose.
In fact, it may be hard to convince you that
your bones are in danger if you drink milk or
take calcium supplements every day.

I understand that very well, as I was  confident
that I would never have any broken bones because I took 1500
milligrams of calcium every day. That was before I broke my
hip the first time.

Since then, after studying more recent research I have learned that
there is something better than calcium for osteoporosis and for
healthy bones.

The truth is that if you take a lot of calcium without the added
nutrients that are involved in assimilating the calcium into your
bones, you are throwing away your money.
