Osteoporosis is a condition that affects bone strength (the word osteoporosis literally means “porous bones”).\u00a0 Bone is made of collagen fibers (tough, elastic fibers) and minerals (gritty, hard material).\u00a0 It is a living tissue and contains cells that make, shape even and reabsorb (take back up) bone.\u00a0 Initially, as you grow, bone formation exceeds bone reabsorption.\u00a0 But, as you get older, this reverses and, after about the age of 30 for women and 45 for men, we start to lose a certain amount of bone material. Your bones become less dense and less strong. \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tOsteoporosis alone does not produce any symptoms.\u00a0 Most people with this condition are unaware that their bones are thinning until they experience a fracture.\t\t<\/h5>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tOne of the best ways to work toward preventing this disease is to weight train and to build of your bone density.\u00a0 It\u2019s never too late to start recreating or maintaining bone mass.\t\t<\/h5>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the best ways to mitigate this condition is exercise.\u00a0 The pulling and tugging on the bones by your muscles during exercise helps to stimulate bone-making weight-bearing exercise throughout life is best, but it is never too late to start.\u00a0 This means weight bearing exercise such as brisk walking, dancing, weight training, etc. For older people, a regular walk is a good start. However, the more vigorous the exercise, the better.<\/p>

For most benefit you should exercise regularly aiming for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise or physical activity at least five times per week.\u00a0 Muscle strengthening exercises are also important.\u00a0 They help to give strength to the supporting muscles around bones.\u00a0 This helps to increase tone, improve balance, etc, which may help to prevent you from falling.\u00a0 Examples of muscle strengthening exercises include weight lifting but you do not necessarily have to lift weights in a gym. There are some simple exercises that you can do at home.<\/p>

If you are new to exercise or have not been properly trained in weight lifting it\u2019s important to hire a personal trainer or weight trainer to make sure that you are executing the exercises properly to ensure safe training without injury.\u00a0 Training incorrectly can create a whole another series of problems in your structural health that can affect other areas of your life.<\/p>
