Osteoporosis

It occurs when bones lose an excessive amount of their protein and mineral content, particularly calcium. Over time, bone mass, and therefore bone strength, is decreased. As a result, bones become fragile and break easily. Even a sneeze or a sudden movement may be enough to break a bone in someone with severe osteoporosis. Those who do not get enough calcium or protein may be more likely to have osteoporosis.Osteoporosis is often called the "silent" disease, because bone loss occurs without symptoms. People often do not know they have the disease until a bone breaks, frequently in a minor fall that would not normally cause a fracture. Therefore it is very important to incorporate good nutrition for bone health.
