Preventing and Treating Osteoporosis: The Complete GuideOsteoporosis--the disease of brittle bones and deadly fractures--is a rising pandemic that is silently but successfully increasing the frailty and mortality of women and men alike. At present, as much as every 1 in 2 women and 1 in 5 men over 50 are expected to fracture. Despite its prevalence, current drugs do little alone to meaningfully impact bone health and are fraught with worrisome side effects, including more fractures! Although the condition is genetically influenced, lifestyle and other factors can dramatically affect its manifestation. Osteoporosis is a complex disorder that in turn needs to be addressed holistically. The predisposition for the condition begins as early as in the womb, so the time to develop a health-promoting, preventative lifestyle is NOW.Are you worried and unsure about what diet to follow to best support bone health?
