Osteoporosis and Your Bone Health

Osteo and bone health are gaining a lot of attention now, in comparison to previous years. This is great because it is such a painful and debilitating disease of the aging. Osteoporosis can be slowed down if it is recognized early enough and if the correct action is taken thorough life may reduce the risks of suffering early onset of osteoporosis.

So what is osteoporosis? This is a disease of the bones where the cells that generate new bone slow down enough that the bone is unable to reproduce as fast as the bone is being lost. This creates weak / spongy looking bones, which are prone to breaking. Osteo is a silent disease, most people are unware they are suffering bone loss until they start to break bones for no reason. Some of these breaks can be a very big issue such as in the vertebrae in the back. Osteo is incredibly painful, and can hasten death in some individuals.

How can you deal with osteoporosis? Nutrition is believed to be a huge factor in developing osteo. Not getting enough vitamin D and calcium are believed to be contributing factors to osteoporosis. You should try to consume foods with high amounts of calcium, for those interested you should check out the cookbook Calcium Rich Recipies. This book provides a great starting point to making sure you have enough calcium in your diet. You should also look into dietary supplements to increase your calcium levels. Ensure  is another option for those who like drinks versus pills.

Also there is some indication that staying active through your entire life helps to increase bone density while you are young, giving you a boost in density before you start to loose bone growth. A bit of moderate weigt lifting can go a long way. It all goes back to the idiom if you don’t use it you lose it, and that is exactly what happens with your bones. If you don’t put stress on them when you are younger, you will not build as dense of bone.

Two studies have shown that the green coffee bean extract found in some Hydroxycut products promotes weight loss. Svetol, the green coffee extract used in Hydroxycut products, is found in Hydroxycut Hardcore, Hydroxycut Hardcore Elite, and Hydroxycut Acai.In a study funded by Iovate in 2010, 45 participants took Svetol while 45 got a placebo. All 90 participants ate a reduced-calorie diet and performed moderate exercise over the eight weeks. The result: Those who took Svetol lost an average of 3.7 pounds, compared to 1.25 pounds for those who got a placebo, according to the company.
