Osteoporosis, a condition in which the integrity of bone is compromised by a breakdown in their structure, often resulting in fractures, that can be prevented and even reversed naturally, without the use of prescription medications. This often devastating disease, which most often affects postmenopausal women but is found in men as well, can respond well to lifestyle changes and supplementation. The sooner you incorporate these options into your life, the faster your bones will respond and improve.
Fifty percent of women have osteoporosis by age 60, and 20 percent of women will experience a hip fracture during her lifetime. Although osteoporosis is often thought of as a woman’s disease, 30 percent of cases occur in men, and 50 percent of men who suffer hip fractures die within one year of the incident.
