Several factors can contribute to osteoporosis, and many of these are within your control. Rather than focus on one isolated deficiency or issue, it’s wise to consider your broader lifestyle for risk factors and take steps to prevent the osteoporosis.

For example, systemic inflammation is a primary driver of osteoporosis. If there is chronic, systemic inflammation throughout the body, bone remodeling is inhibited, contributing to the development of osteoporosis. Ongoing inflammation can arise from several factors, ranging from diet to stress to environmental toxins.
