Osteoporosis

Bones, particularly those in the spine and pelvis, lose calcium and become less dense with age. Symptom varies considerably, and in some women there may be none at all. Usually, however. There is some degree of pain especially in the back. Thinning of bones means that fractures occur very easily. When this occurs in the spine, there may be consequent loss of height. It will be very helpful, if adequate protein, calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D with diet is taken.
