Supporting Osteoporosis Awareness in May.
There are many factors that cause Osteoporosis-- a poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, alcohol, being over the age of 50, not getting enough vitamin D and Calcium being some of the causes. Osteoporosis however affects women more than men due to two main causes: 1.- Women tend to be smaller than men, having smaller bone structures; and 2.- Estrogen production, which makes our bones stronger, diminishes in women going through menopause. As a matter of fact, it is estimated that women will lose 20% of their bone mass 5 to 7 years after going through menopause.
Osteoporosis is a serious illness yet simple and healthy habits can change our risks for this silent illness. Take preventive measures and talk to your doctor bout the best ways to prevent it!
