You Can Prevent Osteoporosis

Can Prevent Osteoporosis:
Osteoporosis is often called the silent disease,
because a woman feels no pain as her bones gradually thin to
the point where even a slight bump or a fit of coughing can cause
a fracture. Diagnostic techniques have been so poor that the
pain from these breaks was often the first sign of a problem.
No more. The best tool for diagnosing brittle bones is called
a bone-mineral-density test; the new generation of machines includes
the DXA, the most accurate. All the tests use sophisticated X-rays
or monograms to read bone density. A bone-density score of 1
or less is considered safe. Scoring between 1 and 2.5 could indicate
a risk for the disease but doesn't guarantee it; 2.5 or above
indicates bone loss of 25 percent or more, the definition of
osteoporosis.
Should you ask your doctor for a bone-density
test? The key word here is "ask," because many physicians
seem to be somewhat in the dark about diagnosing and treating
osteoporosis. According to the National Osteoporosis Risk Assessment,
80 percent of low bone mass and osteoporosis goes undiagnosed.
"Women need to be proactive about this disease, and question
their doctors and even provide information if need be,"
says Dr. Aurelia Nattiv, director of the UCLA Osteoporosis Center.
She suggests following the National Osteoporosis Foundation guidelines
on who should get the test, which is now routinely covered under
Medicare. In general, while bone loss is a universal fact of
life, sex, race and size all influence how much bone a woman
will end up with, how great her risk of osteoporosis is and therefore
how much she needs the bone test. African-American women have
denser bones than Caucasian, Hispanic or Asian women, for instance:
a recent study of 48,000 women found that only 38 percent of
postmenopausal African-Americans had bone loss that could lead
to osteoporosis, compared with 50 percent and more among Caucasians,
Hispanics and Asians.
Don't panic if the test results make your
bones look about as sturdy as butterfly wings. Several drugs,
some old and some new, can halt and even reverse bone loss in
women with osteoporosis. None of these drugs directly "builds"
bones. Rather, they all reduce the body's tendency to slough
off old bone cells, so new cells gradually fill in the holes.
While this might result in only a 2 or 3 percent yearly increase
in bone mass, that small amount can reduce the likelihood of
painful fractures the real key to measuring the effectiveness
of an osteoporosis drug. The pharmaceutical options:

Liquid Calcium
Calcium is one of the most important nutrients your body needs.
Unfortunately, many people believe that taking calcium enriched
anti-acid tablets or other related products will give them all
the calcium they need. That is far from the truth. You see, in
order for calcium to be efficiently absorbed by your body, it
needs other mineral co-factors. Majestic Earth Osteo
fx was developed with this in mind. It
is a highly bio-available liquid concentrate because it contains
the necessary vitamins and minerals, the co-factors, necessary
to help you absorb the calcium. You get more than 100% of your
Daily Value (RDA) from just one ounce of Majestic Earth OsteoFx . You will love the pleasant vanilla taste and it
goes great with a NaturesWhey
shake.
