Osteoporosis : Reverse the disease with natural cures!

Osteoporosis is a nasty disease. The terrible pain and suffering caused by this condition is absolutely awful, as anyone who has had to watch a loved one go through a hip fracture or back injury will know. And the worst part is most people have no idea they actually have weak or brittle bones until they have a fall and break their hip or wrist, or injure their back.

The problem with osteoporosis is it’s a disease that takes a long time to rear its ugly head. Bone loss and bone degeneration is a gradual process that occurs over many years, and it speeds up as we get older. And contrary to popular belief, osteoporosis affects both men and women equally. Women, however, are more likely to suffer from bone degeneration during and after menopause due to the rapid decline of estrogen produced by the body.

Worldwide, 8.9 million fractures occur annually from this disease, or one every 3 seconds. 1 in 3 women and 1 in 3 men will experience an osteoporotic fracture over the age of 50. By 2050, the worldwide incidence of hip fractures in men is projected to increase by an astonishing 310% and in women by 240%. These are not good statistics, but thankfully there is hope !

To reverse and cure osteoporosis naturally you need to use multiple approaches (holistic approach) and most importantly, apply them every day.

Osteoporosis Cure 1 – Chondroitin, Collagen, Gelatin, and Hyaluronic Acid…

All of these nutrients and ingredients are essential for rebuilding bone matrix and cartilage. Chondroitin and hyaluronic acid are also crucial for lubricating the joints and muscles. When you see a picture of a healthy bone compared to an osteoporosis bone (such as the one above), you’ll notice the normal bone has a healthy honeycomb type of pattern whereas the osteoporosis bone has the honeycomb pattern but with large “gaps”. This is basically the bone matrix wasting away. And the more it wastes away the softer your bones get.

So to lay the groundwork for your body to start rebuilding the bone matrix and cartilage, you must make sure you take in these nutrients every day without fail. To do this, firstly take the time to research and find yourself a reputable osteo supplement that contains any of these ingredients. Make sure it’s high quality. The cheaper versions are cheap for a reason and will not work.

Osteoporosis Cure 2 – Calcium

Around 70% of bone weight is comprised of calcium, however, this is not the most important nutrient for healthy bones. A common myth, and one that’s still held by the medical profession, is that to strengthen your bones you need lots of calcium. But calcium on its own is useless, and in fact, can actually do you more harm than good.

According to Thomas Levy, MD, taking a calcium supplement is like putting a “fresh coat of paint on a rotten fence”. You may get a “better score” on a “bone density test” – but you won’t reduce your risk of weakened bones or hip fractures at all. Dr. Levy also says… “You are 30% more likely to have a heart attack and up to 20% more likely to have a stroke if you take an extra 500 mg of calcium or more per day”. The reason for this is excess calcium causes a build-up of arterial plaque.

Now, we’re not saying that calcium isn’t important for bone health. It definitely is. What we’re saying is focusing solely on your calcium intake and forgetting about the other essential nutrients that are needed to rebuild and strengthen your bones (and are crucial for keeping the calcium in your bones so it doesn’t leach out) is not a good idea.

Your bones are made up of at least a dozen minerals, and each one is crucial for bone health and bone strength. All are equally as important as each other and because of their synergistic action, daily intakes are required in the correct amounts and ratios for full absorption.

Osteoporosis Cure 3 – Reducing the Pain and Inflammation…

Reducing the pain and inflammation, not just in the joints, but the body as a whole, is extremely important for the entire healing and restoration process to occur.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Chronic inflammation is almost always associated with osteoporosis. Omega-3 fatty acids are considered the ultimate anti-inflammatories. A recent study published in the British Journal of Nutrition also found the DHA omega-3 fatty acid significantly improves bone mineral matter and may even be part of the makeup for bone marrow. This makes it an important nutrient for bone health and reducing inflammation. In addition, and quite astonishingly, omega-3 deficiencies have been found to be the sixth biggest killer of all people in the U.S. Because omega-3’s are essential for virtually every function of the human body, this statistic should come as no surprize.
