Osteoporosis Prevention For All

Within this article the aim is to point people in the right direction with regard to Osteoporosis prevention. As most people know Osteoporosis is a bone crippling disease which can affect anyone at any time of life.

The highest area of sufferers is women in the age group of 50 plus years, and in most cases it revolves around the onset of menopause where the body tends to deprive the patient of the vitamins and supplements that are needed to combat this problem.

Men do suffer as well but not to such a high degree, and when they do it normally boils down to the fact that they have over done the alcohol intake or have smoked too many cigarettes. Both alcohol and cigarettes are said to me major factors in both men and women.

All over the world there are countless thousands of new cases every year, and this is not just confined to the western world as many countries have people that are under nourished and lack the vital supplements.

It is also fair to say that most people only find out they are suffering from Osteoporosis when they have a broken bone or fracture so I believe that Osteoporosis prevention should be as common as women checking themselves for breast cancer.

The main prevention or defence against Osteoporosis is by making sure the body has the right supply that it needs. This means upping the intake of things like Calcium, and by eating the right foods.

By the right foods I mean fresh fruit and vegetables, and by staying away from sugar based products and products with a high preservative level which tends to rule out a lot of pre-prepared foods, and fast foods.

A good way to look at the prevention of Osteoporosis is to visualise that the body is approximately 70% water, and as water has a ph level either of acidic or alkaline make up it is always advisable to move to the alkaline side of your intake. This means that foods with a high acidic value such as meat are not really the best for the body as the acidic content will be the base of what causes problems.

The suggestion is to have one meal a day on things like mixed fruit. Try mixing melon with red fruits, apples, plums etc. All of which have an alkaline make up.

Please note that I am not a Doctor or am I anyway qualified to give nutritional advice, and it is always advisable to check with your Doctor or a Nutritionist.
