Over time, our bones are changing, causing us joint pain and fractures, changes caused mainly due to bone demineralisation. This bone demineralisation leads to osteoporosis.
Although we are accustomed to think that osteoporosis is a disease that occurs with aging, osteoporosis is actually a consequence of our lifestyle.
A poor diet, the lack of movement, neglected health problems, all these could be rectified so that we'll enjoy a good health, even if years are passing by and we are getting older and older.
Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones are losing the mineral content and the weight, becoming fragile and prone to fracture. In fact, the word "osteoporosis" is translated as "porous bones." The most commonly, affected by osteoporosis, bones are the hip and spine, as they are the bones that bear the greatest burden.
Although any bone can suffer fractures, the fractures of the hip and spine are the most dangerous and they are often disabling. They cause immobilization of the patient's body, deformations or permanent disabilities.
