these risk factors before it is too late. Depending on the pharmaceutical world to take care of the problem is just not going to do it! Considering the fact that we have more drugs than ever before and the incidence of this disease keeps rising means we simply must take action.

It is time we take responsibility and start addressing th

can be thought of as the porous or brittle bone disease. This structural deterioration can lead to fractures especially in the spine, hip and wrist areas. We also think of osteoporosis as low bone density. This is more common in older people although people are being diagnosed at younger ages. We have to ask ourselves, WHY!

About one out of four women and one out of eight men, in their late forties and beyond will have fractures as a result of this devastating disease. Cancer (breast, uterine, ovarian, prostate and other types) is now considered the number 1 killer, but, when you consider the disability and suffering from this terrible brittle bone disease, one must wonder what is worse.

Like cancer, osteoporosis may not be diagnosed until it is too late and, at best, the only effective treatment may turn out to be pain management. We certainly expect more than that from our health care system, but really folks, we need to take some of that responsibility on our selves.

Some risk factors:

• Previous fractures

• Menopause before age 45 (in the case of women)

• Smoking

• Low calcium diet

• Low physical activity

• Low vitamin D intake

• Excessive caffeine intake

• Excessive alcohol intake

• Insufficient nutrient intake

Folks, it makes a whole lot of sense to address most of these risk factors before it is too late. Depending on the pharmaceutical world to take care of the problem is just not going to do it! Considering the fact that we have more drugs than ever before and the incidence of this disease keeps rising means we simply must take action.

It is time we take responsibility and start addressing the risk factors. Nutrient intake is one of the most important factors that we can start addressing immediately. Look at some of the science that is starting to appear in some of the medical journals. For example, Harper’s Biomedical Text Book has one whole chapter dedicated to a specific type of nutrient that is now missing from our present day diet. The simple act of supplementing our diets with these missing vital nutrients may reverse this terrible bone disease. It may be worth your time to do some preliminary research on this new science.
