Osteoporosis And Menopause
Osteoporosis is simply bone loss. It is inherent in aging for both men and women, although women are more susceptible to it.
Because a woman’s bone density is less than that of a man, this allows more time for the bone to age.
The loss of bone mass begins approximately at age 40. After menopause, there is an acceleration of five to seven years at which point it returns to its normal age-related rate.
The most effective way to maintain the strength of your bones requires a combination of lifestyle changes and dietary measures, such as:
- Discontinue smoking;
- Ensure you are following a nutritional diet, with sufficient calcium amounts and included supplements of vitamin D in your dietary regimen;
- Make-sport with 30 minutes exercise a day, three or four days a week.
