Could your bones be getting weaker without you even knowing it? Osteoporosis and osteopenia affect millions of Americans, often developing silently until a fall or fracture reveals the damage. But…
About 10 million Americans have osteoporosis and roughly 44 million more have low bone density, putting them on the path towards a fall or a hip fracture or osteopenia or osteoporosis.
About one in two women and up to one in four men over 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis.
Women can lose up to 20% of their bone density in the five to seven years after menopause.
And after that, the balance slowly tips in the other direction, unfortunately.
Your bone density is lower than normal, but you're not in the danger zone yet.
Think of it as a yellow light warning and an opportunity to turn things around.
So later in the show, stay tuned because we're going to be talking about a new type of calcium, a compound.
And so the studies are showing that this type of calcium that we're going to talk about later in the show is actually reversing osteoporosis to osteopenia, preventing osteopenia in women.
So a lot of good, interesting information for all of us to stay on top of.
So if you know anyone that eats food, you need to tell them about the show.
We are going to talk more about what other things we can do to prevent osteopenia and osteoporosis.
The bone becomes thin and fragile enough to break from a minor fall, a bump, or in some cases, even a cough or a hug.
And how is it measured? Well, they use DEXA scans, which can be controversial, but we're not going to go into that today.
