Increase Bone Density and Treat Osteoporosis Naturally
According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation’s website, roughly 55 percent of Americans 50 years or older are affected by osteoporosis. They also report that while an estimated 10 million suffer from osteoporosis, about 34 million or more are at a high risk of developing osteoporosis. Although traditionally thought of as a disease of the elderly, particularly women, osteoporosis can attack people even before menopause. One major cause of osteoporosis is the lack of proper nutrients, not just calcium but a whole host of other vitamins. Osteoporosis occurs naturally in many people, but luckily, people can also treat their osteoporosis naturally.
To increase bone density and treat osteoporosis naturally, without pills or hormones, the first thing to do is to take a look at your diet. Small changes in the diet can have dramatic effects on bone density and either prevent or treat osteoporosis naturally. Adding calcium to one’s diet is an obvious choice, and there are many ways other than drinking milk to add more calcium into a diet. Vegetables such as broccoli are high in calcium. Foods containing Vitamin D are also effective. Vitamin D is often added to milk; check the next gallon of milk you buy to see if Vitamin D has been added, which is usually printed in large text on the front.

Milk and Calcium Supplements -Can you Feel it in your Bones?
Have you had your daily serving of pasteurized milk or calcium supplement today? Are you concerned that it will cause osteoporosis? Well, don’t be! Much of what you hear about osteoporosis is hearsay. You are not likely to get this disease by drinking milk or taking calcium supplements.
Osteoporosis is caused from a deficiency of calcium which is needed in order for your muscles to contract. It also allows the blood vessels to contract and expand and aids with the secretion of hormones and enzymes into the body.
Calcium supplements can help aid the body in absorbing the proper amount of calcium if the daily amount needed is not achieved through eating foods high in calcium. Kale, broccoli, tofu and Chinese cabbage are one source of calcium, yet diary products like yogurt and cheese are the main source of calcium. When supplements are taken, even in high dosages, it does not cause osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disease that causes the bones to become fragile and brittle causing them to break. An inadequate amount of calcium leads to osteoporosis. It’s at that point that calcium supplements can help build the correct amount of calcium back into the body. Read the rest of this entry »
