What causes bone loss and bone porosity?
Loss of bone mass is common in adults aged 35+. It is even more pronounced in women at the start of menopause. Bones lose minerals and proteins becoming less dense and porous. This causes many issues like bone fractures as well as aches and pains.
Can bone loss be mitigated?
With proper exercise, diet and lifestyle, bone loss can be mitigated and in many cases even reversed.
Weight-bearing exercises cause bones to become stronger and denser. Exercises such as climbing stairs, lifting weights, dancing, brisk walking and sports that require the body to bounce against gravity are all helpful.
The diet should include
natural sources of calcium along with Vitamin D which helps in calcium absorption. Yogurt, kale, broccoli are foods high in natural calcium.
Very high amounts of protein, caffeine and sodium should be avoided as these cause calcium to be removed by the body.
Avoid smoking, drinking, carbonated beverages and caffeine as these cause calcium and other minerals to be leached from the bones.
Himalaya Reosto is an ayurvedic preparation. Each tablet contains 575mg of herbs and minerals. It provides natural calcium and hormone regularizing phytoestrogens the combination of which is very useful when bones start to lose mass and density. It is also recommended for women age 35 and up when bone loss first starts to occur.
