Osteoporosis is a common condition which is usually diagnosed when women are post-menopausal. The meaning of osteoporosis is "porous bone". Symptoms are lower bone density and excessive bone loss. Over 20 million women in the United States are affected by this devastating disease. Many people are under the assumption that osteoporosis is a disease of the elderly, not necessarily true. We would be correct in recognizing it as a disease of the majority, not the elderly. Bone is living tissue that is constantly being broken down and rebuilt. Around the age of thirty, the battle of bone loss begins. By the year 2040 an enormous shift of baby boomers will enter the ranks of the elderly. Currently in the...

Nutrient deficiencies appear to increase with age. Some colleagues at the University of Iowa looked at over 400 Iowans 79 and older living independently in rural areas and found that 80 percent reported consuming inadequate amounts of four or more nutrients. When declining energy requirements are not matched by decreased caloric intake then total body fat increases. The Atkins diet leaves your body shy on some important nutrients, such as vitamin B, and also is negative for vitamins A, C and D, anti-oxidants that slow the effects of aging and calcium. Once again the lack of exercise has to enter into the equation also. Nutritional status may be further compromised by other problems in conjunction...

We all grew up knowing that we needed calcium for strong bones and teeth. "Drink your milk," moms would say. But not everyone drank milk, and many of us moved away from milk when we became adults. Today, the most common reason to add a calcium supplement to a diet is to prevent osteoporosis (bone loss). Osteoporosis is primarily a concern of women, especially White and Asian women. To help avoid osteoporosis, physicians often suggest a calcium supplement, and many women decide to take them on their own, as well. But which kind is best? Calcium supplements are available in many forms: calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, and calcium citrate/malate, as well as bone meal, coral calcium, and oyster shell...

Need strong bones and teeth? Take enough calcium. What is calcium? Mainly, calcium is the most common mineral in our body. Calcium comprises 99% of the structure of your bones and teeth, while the remaining 1% is found in your blood and soft tissues. Calcium provides the needed strength and stiffness to the skeletal system so as to keep you around and to protect the internal organs as well. Without enough calcium, your body would not be able to keep its constant cycle of rebuilding and growing of the bones so as to provide the required strength to hold up your body. Your body’s need for the required calcium level changes very fast as it goes through different levels from childhood to...

About 98% of calcium in our body is found in the bones. The remaining is absorbed by the blood to perform various functions of the body including digestion, proper pumping of blood and cell division. When calcium is not properly absorbed by the blood it gets deposited in tissues and other organs where it is not needed. These deposits are sometimes referred to as bone calcium deposits because when blood does not receive adequate quantities of calcium from food, it starts robbing calcium found in the bones. Bone spurs and osteoporosis occur as a direct consequence of this activity. Women above the age of 40 are most likely victims of these diseases. In addition to osteoporosis bone calcium deposits...

The causal relationship between smoking and cardiopulmonary disease and cancer is well established. Smoking related illnesses cost Americans almost $200 billion each year. Included in this dollar figure, are diseases common to other organ systems that find themselves surrendering to the affects of smoking. One lesser publicized disease associated with smoking is osteoporosis. Researchers found this link more than 20 years ago. It was discovered that smokers had decreased bone density when compared to non-smokers. It does take on a little of the "chicken and the egg" argument, however. It's difficult for physicians and scientists to accurately say whether smoking itself leads to the lower bone...

When a tooth is extracted the remaining socket heals over the next 6-9 months. During this time the body naturally remodels the socket as it fills with bone. Studies have shown that 40-60% of the bone may be lost in untreated sockets areas. Unfortunately, once the bone is lost it doesn't grow back and a narrow, thin bony ridge remains. Anyone who has a denture or partial denture knows how difficult it is to keep these in place and prevent them from moving around. When the ridges get thinner over time it becomes even more difficult. Additionally, bone is needed in these areas in order to restore them with artificial root replacements, or dental implants, which today are considered the standard of...

A doctor with good diagnostic skills will also suggest taking additional tests to detect unseen medical problems. Of course there's always a few who like to add revenue to their bottom line. But for the most part screening tests are important medical tools. Starting in your 30s, your doctor will begin checking your cholesterol levels regularly. Then in your 40s, if you're a woman, your doctor will recommend regular mammograms. And if your man into your 40s, I'm sure your have a routine prostate check up. And when...

y"> Do you have colds or allergies and lose your voice for short periods? Do you whisper anyway when your throat is red and sore? If you answered yes or no to any of these questions, read on. When my sister's speech vanished one morning I thought it was temporary. She tried whispering to speak to family members and friends. After a month her voice had not returned, she made an appointment to see an Ears, Nose and Throat doctor (ENT). The doctor in his office placed a small electronic scope device down her nose and examined her vocal cords. Her vocal cords looked good, but the muscles next to them had been damaged by whispering when her voice had disappeared. GERD: To make matters worse he said she...

ARE YOU ENSURING THE HEALTH OF YOUR BONES? It is easy to go through life, focusing on the "important" issues we face - taking care of the family, doing the shopping, working at our jobs, making sure our homes are clean. But how often do we really focus on ourselves? Especially on our health. Oh yes, we may occasionally go to our doctor for a physical or perhaps we have a recurring health problem that brings us to doctors. But are we really doing everything we can to ensure the health of our bones? Probably not. It is all too common that we do not ask questions about our bone strength or about osteoporosis until a lot of damage is done. OSTEOPENIA IS THE PRECURSOR TO OSTEOPOROSIS Perhaps you have...

The sad news is osteoporosis, bone loss, bone fractures, and broken bones are an ever increasing problem for millions of American women. Every year nearly 300,000 women will suffer from a hip fracture. Twenty percent of those women will die within the first year after having had a hip fracture and a good portion of the rest will require long term, assisted living or nursing home care. The good news is there is an answer to this ever increasing problem, and it is not taking another pharmaceutical drug or simply taking more calcium. In fact, American women have some of the highest levels of calcium intake in the world, through diet and supplementation, and yet they have one of the highest rates of...

Osteopenia and osteoporosis are both conditions of decreased bone density. The difference between osteopenia and osteoporosis lies in the degree of severity. Osteopenia is defined as significant loss of bone mass. Generally, no symptoms are associated with osteopenia. A diagnosis of osteopenia is important mainly because people who have osteopenia are at risk of develop osteoporosis in the future if their bone loss continues to worsen. Osteoporosis is a disease where the bones have become significantly brittle so that people in this group are at very high risk for debilitating bone fractures such as hip fractures and compression fractures of the bones in the spine called vertebrae. Vertebral...

  As we get older, many of us experience bone loss. Many factors can influence the thinning of bone. Hormonal changes, aging, and lack of proper supplements are major reasons behind this condition. Well, as many of us know, the process of aging is unavoidable; so is there anything we can do in order to promote strong and healthy bones in the future? The answer is “yes.” There are certain weight bearing exercises which can help with this dilemma. The exercises which can help in reducing bone loss are the ones which place stress on the bone. Our bones adapt to stress very easily, just like muscles, so the more time you spend working out your bones-the stronger they will become. Some of the most...
