Diet to Fight Osteoporosis</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The relationship between diet and health is beyond doubt. A balanced diet that includes all kinds of food as fresh as possible, is essential to maintaining overall health and, in the case of the bones, certain foods act as true protectors; are milk (preferably skim), the eggs, oily fish, nuts, legumes, green leafy vegetables and fruits.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The bone is not a static, but is subject to constant renewal and remodeling of bone tissue that composes it. So that during the process in which the bone is growing accumulating more bone mass density possible is essential to give all the nutrients you need, calcium being obviously a major.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite its importance, the Hispanic Foundation for Osteoporosis and Metabolic Bone Diseases (FHOEMO) recognizes that the daily intake of this mineral is well below the recommended dose.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Calcium intake, especially during the growing period is essential to ensure the maximum amount of bone mass, and the best quality. Calcium cannot act alone, that must be accompanied by other nutrients such as vitamins A and D, minerals such as phosphorus, potassium or magnesium.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recommended daily intake of vitamins and minerals for strong bones, healthy and prevent osteoporosis</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Calcium: 1000-1500 mg / day</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Phosphorus: 800-1200 mg / day</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The importance of an alkaline on diet</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Osteoporosis is closely associated with acidosis produced by the type of food (excess animal proteins, fats, refined carbohydrates, preservatives and other additives) and the lack of alkalizing foods (vegetables and fruits). It is important not to abuse the animal proteins and replace them from some vegetables and have a high content of calcium, better absorption than calcium from milk.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Vegetables and other foods high in alkaline minerals are necessary for deacidifying the body, alkalize the blood and maintain a balanced pH. It is strongly recommended that the body tissues, especially blood, have a slightly alkaline pH. Typically, people who eat lots of meat and many proteins as well as those suffering from rheumatic problems and osteoporosis, often have blood and tissues slightly acid. The bone, which is the body's alkaline reserve par excellence, yields calcium through the body to compensate for the acidification and balance body pH. That is, we are taking calcium to bone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With proper nutrition can prevent acidification body. Especially since the 40 is important to remove food and habits that are considered toxic because they acidify the body, such as excess meat, alcohol, coffee and snuff. Also plenty of salty food is not advisable to and that a diet too rich in sodium (salt content) is greatly increased calcium excretion in the urine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But in addition to calcium, we must pay attention to our diet lacks an adequate supply of vitamins, especially of the most important in preventing osteoporosis, vitamin K and vitamin D to help calcium absorption as When they are fixed to the bone.</div>worldstuffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05195964493233150552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231642629251393997.post-79516910910031774802012-05-07T23:16:00.000-07:002018-06-26T03:30:35.469-07:00How to Overcome Osteoporosis<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

Osteoporosis usually is not detected until clear clinical symptoms such as reduced height and fractures. These usually occur in the thoracic and lumbar, neck, femur and distal radius.<br /><br />Being an asymptomatic disease to presenting their bone complications need an early diagnosis, which is induced by clinical history, with analysis of genetic, nutritional, environmental and risk factors, and the determination of biochemical markers of bone age and bone mineral content measured by densitometry.<br /><br />First you need a physical examination should include measurement of height to detect loss. Also useful are the x-profile of the lumbar and thoracic spine for the presence of vertebral fractures. To detect osteoporosis before symptoms appear can be measured bone mineral density (bone mineral density / BMD) by densitometry.<br /><br />Currently, the two easiest ways to diagnose this disease: <br /><br />1 º) using a dual energy radiographic densitometry (DEXA) of lumbar spine and hip, which quantifies the mineral content per unit area, so you get the bone mineral density (BMD) in g. cm2, relative to the projection area, and<br /><br />2 °) by means of computed tomography (CT) that provides a bulk density in g. m3.<br /><br />In 1994, a committee of experts from the World Health Organization proposed the densitometry criteria for diagnosis of osteoporosis in female population the values of mineral content or bone mineral density that fall below -2.5 standard deviations of the mean healthy young women (peak bone mass).<br /><br />The diagnosis of osteoporosis can often go unnoticed if not think about it, because that is so insidious onset and lack of sensitivity of conventional diagnostic methods. Bone demineralization is not detected until they lose at least 30% of bone mineral density.<br /><br />The fracture is the result of osteoporosis. We think of it so that it can diagnose, but it would be very interesting if we could predict its occurrence, and this is very difficult to get, because there is different bone mass, depending on the mechanical factors that concur in the individual.<br /><br />With noninvasive methods such as densitometry using ultrasound measurements can be made in patients who have a risk of osteoporosis, and when in doubt densitometry should be performed by dual X-ray absorptiometry to confirm the suspicion of osteopenia, an inexpensive and noninvasive way to predict this condition.<br /><br />Patients exposed to prolonged treatment with glucocorticoids have a reduced bone mineral density, and 30-50% of them suffer vertebral fractures. The degree of bone loss is related to the duration of treatment and the dosage used. However the treatment as well as diagnose probably not related to the underlying diagnosis, age, or sex of the patient. The subjects with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis should be periodic monitoring of bone mineral density when they are on chronic steroid every 6 or 12 months.<br /><br />Ideally we should have a baseline densitometry before starting treatment and then follow up every 6 months.<br /><br />The use of biochemical markers of bone formation and restoration is a good step forward for diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis. It seems that high values of these biochemical markers indicate a high bone remodeling and are associated with decreased bone mass.<br /><br />They also serve to predict an accelerated rate of bone loss.<br /><br />In osteoporosis, bone biopsy may be useful to study bone architecture and evaluate the decrease in trabecular interconnection or to evaluate the effect of treatment. However, bone biopsy is not essential for the diagnosis of osteoporosis because it can be done by the other methods we have discussed.<br />worldstuffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05195964493233150552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231642629251393997.post-58661999385286294772012-05-06T23:10:00.003-07:002018-06-26T03:46:35.879-07:00Bones and Osteoporosis<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bone renovation is a continuous tissue. When the bone renovations stop or break the balance between formation and bone destruction, for example due to changes in diet or hormonal lost minerals that keep the hardness and density characteristics of the bone.<br /><br />This condition is called osteopenia. When the loss is larger and has more bone fracture risk, we are ahead of osteoporosis.<br /><br />In osteoporosis increases the risk of fracture, especially in the hips, spine and wrists. Increased risk with age and affects more women than men.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><i>Bones and Osteoporosis</i><br />It is also more common in Caucasian and Asian races. According to the American Foundation for osteoporosis, 10 million people in the U.S. have osteoporosis and 34 million have a loss of bone mineral density which makes them more vulnerable to disease. Of these, 80% are women.<br /><br />Many people at risk of osteoporosis do not know and did not discover until suffering a fracture, hence is often called the "silent disease". This fracture, especially in the hips, vertebrae of the spine or wrist can occur with minimal trauma and cause chronic pain or disability in the joint. If the state of health is already affected, this fracture can make things worse and may be a cause of death in these patients.<br /><br />The bones are formed by a network of collagen type I on which deposit calcium phosphate, which allows them to be so strong and flexible. Bone is a tissue that is constantly remodeling. During resorption, osteoclasts dissolve bone and some enzymes break down the collagen network.<br /><br />This is followed by new bone formation by osteoblasts, which secrete osteocalcin and collagen precursors to form another network that will again be mineralized. This process is continuous and is called bone remodeling occurs throughout the body, thereby replacing 8-10% of bone each year.<br /><br />During childhood education is greater than restoration, thereby increasing bone mass. This is often extended to 30 years. After formation and restoration decreases recovered, so it has decreased bone mass. Inadequate intake of calcium and vitamin D in infancy, the use of drugs that contain steroids (such as asthma medication), anorexia, physical inactivity, snuff and excess alcohol are factors that increase the risk of osteoporosis throughout life.<br /><br />Some diseases, such as the thyroid, Cushing's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, kidney disease, hyperparathyroidism and vitamin D deficiency may have an effect on bone health. Those with a family history of osteoporosis also carry greater risk.<br /><br />Women, during menopause, may lose bone mass due to decreased estrogen. Early menopause increases the loss. According to some studies, a woman may lose more than 20% of their bone mass in the first 5 to 8 years after menopause. Men with low testosterone levels also have higher risk of disease.<br /></div>worldstuffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05195964493233150552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231642629251393997.post-18371231617589347212012-05-06T11:57:00.001-07:002012-05-06T15:38:41.506-07:00What is Post Menopausal Osteoporosis?<div style="text-align: justify;">
What is Post Menopausal Osteoporosis?
After 50 years, particularly in white women of small stature, there is a decrease in trabecular bone resulting in a decline in the total calcium mass. In some cases this decrease is significant trabecular bone loss of 0.5 to 2% per year.
The cause is multi factorial. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The decline in the mobilization usual (very sedentary people) is one of them, which is associated deficits dietary calcium (requires at least 1 g of calcium daily), or increased excretion as observed prolonged immobilization in bed, alcoholism, hyperthyroidism, liver disease or treatment with corticosteroids.
In the woman occurs when estrogen decrease in post menopause, as may occur in man with the fall of androgens in hypogonadism.
It is not yet convincingly clarified the role of those truly responsible for the regulation of calcium metabolism, such as parathyroid hormone, calcitonin and 1, 25-hydroxycholecalciferol in the genesis of postmenopausal osteoporosis is possible that even a leading role. This allows the occurrence of fractures with minimal trauma. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is the major cause of fractures in the Western world. The risk is 2-4 times higher in women than in men.
The probability of hip fracture increases 1.3% per year in women aged 65 years and half in the case of men. At 65 years, the incidence is 1-2/1.000 for women and for men 0.5-1/1.000. At 85 years, the corresponding rates are of 25/1.000 to 10/1.000 women and for men.
This is compounded by the fact that, after 60 years, one third of people suffer a fall each year. Like all body tissues, bone is also under the involution, after a certain age and with a negative skeletal balance, determines a decrease in bone mass.
Anatomically, osteoporosis is a bone lesion characterized by a progressive thinning of the bone trabeculae, much stronger and faster than the physiological evolution. The trabeculae maintain their organic and mineral structure, but its causes thinning expand intertrabecular spaces’, making the compact bone is transformed into foam with a less thick. In summary, there is a reduction of the total quantity of bone tissue. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although osteoporosis is also a condition that affects men (750,000 in Spain) is a disease that is directly related to women, because it is after the menopause when triggered or accelerated osteoporosis. At this stage of life of women is a decrease of estrogen causing increased bone resorption and the consequent loss of bone density.
According to president of the Spanish Association for the Study of Menopause, stresses the importance of avoiding factors that increase the risk of disease, such as the snuff and excessive intake of caffeine products.
It also refers to the practice of preventive measures such as aerobic exercise in moderation and eating a diet rich in calcium, increasing the intake of low-fat dairy products and fortified with calcium and vitamin C.</div>worldstuffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05195964493233150552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231642629251393997.post-34993209146230213842012-04-27T20:40:00.003-07:002012-05-03T23:53:10.179-07:00What Is Osteoporosis<div style="float: center; margin: 10px 0pt 10px 10px;">

<h2>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">What Is Osteoporosis - Definition of Osteoporosis</span></h2>
<br />
Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by mass (weight) and low bone damage to the tissue inside the bones. On the Osteoporosis, a decrease in bone quality and quantity of bone density, but both are crucial to bone strength Osteoporosis sufferers prone to broken bones or fractures<br />
<br />
In the United States 44 million people have very low bone density. Nearly 55% of this amount is aged 55 years and older. More women than men, one of two white women will have osteoporosis in her life.<br />
<br />
Classification - there are two types of osteoporosis:<br />
<br />
1. Primary Osteoporosis, Osteoporosis is a kind of an unknown cause.<br />
2. Secondary Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is caused by other diseases, such as <br />
<br />
hyperparathyroidism, hyperthyroidism, type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, Cushing's syndrome, the use of drugs known as corticosteroids in the long term (usually used by people with asthma), diuretics (often used by people with hypertension), drug anticonvulsants (anti-seizure), and others.<br />
<br />
Clinical symptoms of Osteoporosis is a condition that does not cause any symptoms <br />
for decades, because osteoporosis does not cause symptoms until a fracture or fractures occur. Then the symptoms will not be far from the site of fracture. An example of fracture of the spine will cause symptoms such as pain radiating from the back tied to the side of the body.<br />
<br />
<b>Osteoporosis Risk Factors</b><br />
Women at higher risk of osteoporosis, especially women who are thin or have small stature, as well as the elderly.<br />
White or Asian women, especially those who have a family history of osteoporosis, have a higher risk than other women.<br />
Women on menopause condition can increase osteoporosis factors.<br />
Smoking, dietary disorders such as anorexia or bulimia, low-calcium diet, heavy alcohol drinkers, inactive lifestyle, use of certain medications such as corticosteroids in the long run, anti seizure.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://randomnessf1.blogspot.com/2012/05/what-exactly-is-osteoporosis.html">Additional Osteoporosis inspection</a><br />
to see the level of bone density and osteoporosis detection can be done:<br />
<br />
measuring bone density using a tool called a densitometer X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). This tool is there are two types of SXA (Single X-ray Absorptiomety) and DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray absorptiometry).<br />
<br />
Laboratory tests to determine the activity of bone remodeling, namely examination Telopeptide CTx or C-and N-Mid Osteocalcin, to determine bone remodeling.<br />
Osteoporosis is not deadly but if there is a fracture, the quality of life can deteriorate, especially if the patient is still young. Beware of early osteoporosis. For those who have high risk, do the screening with bone density.worldstuffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05195964493233150552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231642629251393997.post-14832925930865561182012-04-27T19:38:00.000-07:002012-05-03T08:59:06.595-07:00Overcome Osteoporosis With Vitamin B12<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;">Generally this osteoporosis is not detected until clear clinical symptoms, such as the reduction of stature and fractures. These usually occur in the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, the neck, the femur and distal radius.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is an asymptomatic disease, until the submission of its bone complications need early diagnosis, which is induced by medical history, with analysis of genetic, nutritional, environmental factors and risk factors, as well as the determination of biochemical markers of bone age and the extent of bone mineral content by densitometry.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A physical examination which must include a measurement of the size to detect their loss is needed first. The profile of the dorsal and lumbar spine x-rays are also useful to rule out the presence of vertebral fractures. The bone mineral density can be measured to detect osteoporosis before symptoms occur (Mineral Density bone / BMD) through a densitometry.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Currently, the two easiest ways to diagnose this disease are:</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1) through a radiological DXA dual energy (DEXA Scan) of the lumbar spine and the hip, which quantifies the mineral content per unit area; Thus the bone mineral density (BMD) is obtained in g. cm2, referring to the area of projection; and</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2) by means of a computerized axial tomography (TAC) that provides a volumetric density in g. m3.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In 1994, a Committee of experts from the World Health Organization proposed criterion optical for the <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2012/02/osteoporosis-diagnosis.html" target="_blank"><b>diagnosis of osteoporosis</b></a> in female population those values of mineral content or bone mineral density be situated below - 2.5 standard deviations from the average of healthy young women (peak of bone mass).</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The <i>diagnosis of osteoporosis</i> can often go unnoticed if not you think in it, due to the beginning so insidious that it has and the lack of sensitivity of conventional diagnostic methods. Bone demineralization is not detected, so not to lose at least 30% of the bone mineral density.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The fracture is the result of osteoporosis. We must think about it to be able to diagnose, but I would be very interesting that we could predict his appearance, and this is very difficult to accomplish, because there are different bone mass, depending on the mechanical factors that occur concurrently in the individual.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Methods not invasive as densitometry via ultrasound measurements in patients who have a true risk of osteoporosis can be, with when in doubt you must practice a densitometry by dual x-ray absorptiometry to confirm the suspicion of <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/10/osteopenia-natural-remedies-for-pre.html" target="_blank"><b>osteopenia</b>,</a> a cheap way and non-invasive predict this pathology.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Patients exposed to prolonged treatments with glucocorticoids have a reduction in bone mineral density, and 30-50% of them suffer from vertebral fractures. The degree of bone loss is related to the duration of treatment and the used dose. But probably not related to the underlying diagnosis, age, and sex of the patient. Subjects with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis must make periodic checks of the bone mineral density when they are in corticoideo chronic treatment every 6 or 12 months.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ideally we should have a densitometry basal before beginning treatment, and then follow up every 6 months.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The use of biochemical markers of bone resorption and formation represents a good step forward for the diagnosis and <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><b>treatment of osteoporosis</b></a>.

An of the tests is the absorptiometry (DEXA, by its acronym in English) dual energy x-ray. A DEXA Scan takes x-rays of your bones. There are also other types of evidence of the strength of the bones. Talk to your doctor or nurse about what type of test is best for you.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you were 65 years of age or older, you should do a bone density test. If you have between 60 and 64 years of dad, weighs less than 154 pounds, and does not take estrogen, have a bone density test.

<h3>The Age and Osteoporosis </h3><h3> </h3><ul><li>The <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/12/osteoporosis-risk-factors.html">risk of osteoporosis</a> increases with age. <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/10/osteoporosis.html" target="_blank">Osteoporosis </a>can develop at any age but is much more common in people as they age.</li>
</ul><h3> </h3><h3>Sex and Osteoporosis </h3><h3> </h3><ul><li>Women have a higher risk of osteoporosis than men, but both men and women can lose bone mass and fracture.</li>
</ul><h3> </h3><h3>Family History and Osteoporosis </h3><ul><li>A person who has a father who developed osteoporosis are at greater risk for bone loss.</li>
</ul><h3> </h3><h3>Racial, Ethnicity and Osteoporosis </h3><h3> </h3><ul><li>People of all races and ethnicities can develop osteoporosis. However, African Americans tend to have less risk than other groups.</li>
</ul><h3> </h3><h3>Medication and Osteoporosis </h3><h3> </h3><ul><li>Some medications such as steroids or anticonvulsants are an important part of treatment of certain diseases, but also cause bone loss. People who need this medication should take steps to protect your bones.</li>
<li>Most <b>risk factors for osteoporosis</b> can be modified to reduce risk, either through changes in lifestyle and medication, if necessary. These include :</li>
</ul><h3> </h3><h3>Physical Activity and Osteoporosis </h3><h3> </h3><ul><li>Exercise is one of the best ways to protect against osteoporosis. Weight-bearing exercises that work against gravity (such as walking, stair climbing and weight training) help keep bones strong. Exercise also helps to prevent diseases like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity and colon cancer. Try to get at least 30 minutes of exercise a day.</li>
</ul><h3> </h3><h3>Hormone postmenopausal and Osteoporosis </h3><h3> </h3><ul><li>Postmenopausal hormones may contain different hormones that are similar to the female reproductive hormones, estrogen and progesterone. After menopause, a woman's body stops producing large amounts of these hormones. For women who are going through (or have already gone through), post-menopausal hormones help reduce symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, and also protect against osteoporosis and colon cancer. The hormone estrogen is particularly important in the prevention of osteoporosis, because it can reduce bone loss and increase bone density. However, post-menopausal hormones may represent a high risk, such as increasing the risk of breast cancer (or breast) and uterine cancer. And although it was thought at one point that postmenopausal hormone helped reduce the risk of heart disease, it is now unclear how they affect the risk of these diseases.</li>
</ul><h3> </h3><h3>The Use of Snuff and Osteoporosis </h3><h3> </h3><ul><li>Smokers have increased <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_density" target="_blank"><b>risk of osteoporosis</b></a> than non-smokers. Smoking may work in different ways to increase the loss of bone mass. For example, smoking can change the body's hormone levels and may interfere with calcium absorption.</li>
<li> </li>
<li>Snuff exposure also increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease (narrowing of blood vessels in the legs), emphysema, bronchitis, diabetes, and cancers of the lung, bladder, kidney, pancreas, cervix, lip, mouth, tongue, larynx, throat and esophagus. For many people, quitting smoking is the best they can do to improve your health.</li>
</ul><h3> </h3><h3>Body Weight and osteoporosis </h3><h3> </h3><ul><li>The <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><b>risk of osteoporosis</b></a> is higher in thin people with small bones and less weight people. Heavier people have a lower risk for several reasons. The extra fat that people have increased production of estrogen (which protects against rapid bone loss), increase the weight that the bones have to support (which helps make them stronger) and can lessen the impact of the blows in case of a fall (which protects bones from fractures).</li>
<li> </li>
<li>While the extra weight protects against osteoporosis, may also adversely affect the whole body, increasing the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease and stroke. Maintain a healthy weight has been proven to decrease the risk of colon cancer, kidney, breast and uterine cancer. When all this is considered the best option to protect your bones is not through the weight gain but through other methods such as exercise and healthy diet.</li>
</ul><h3> </h3><h3>Diet and Osteoporosis </h3><h3> </h3><ul><li>Diet can play an important role in bone health. To reduce the <i>risk of osteoporosis</i>, it is especially important to get enough calcium, vitamin D and vitamin K. Good sources of calcium include dairy products, nuts, whole grains, green leafy vegetables and calcium supplements. Good sources of vitamin D include eggs, fish "fat" dairy products and fortified breakfast cereals, as well as direct exposure to sunlight, which helps create vitamin D through the skin. Good sources of vitamin K are green leafy vegetables like kale, spinach, broccoli, cabbage or lettuce.</li>
<li> </li>
<li>Too much vitamin A as retinol, can Increase the <i><b>Risk of Osteoporosis</b></i>. Try to keep the retinol intake Between 2500 IU and 5000 IU daily. The best way to do this is to make sure you do not consume foods fortified with too many vitamin A. And When choosing a multivitamin, choose one you no more Than That 5000 IU of vitamin A and have at least 20% of vitamin A</li>

Bone remodeling is a continuous fabric. When it breaks the balance between bone formation and destruction, for example due to changes in diet or hormonal, you lose the minerals that keep the hardness and density characteristics of the bone.<br />
<br />
This condition is called ostopenia. When the loss is larger and has more bone fracture risk, we are in front of <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/10/osteoporosis.html"><b>osteoporosis</b></a>.<br />
<br />
In <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/"><b>osteoporosis </b></a>increases the risk of fracture, especially in the hips, spine and wrists. The risk increases with age and affects more women than men.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="147" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5hzSvi1fasg/TvQksSnFSbI/AAAAAAAABCI/weNSvf9wPUI/s320/osteoporosis1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
It is also more common in Caucasian and Asian races. According to the American Foundation for <b>osteoporosis</b>, 10 million people in the U.S. have <b>osteoporosis </b>and 34 million have a bone mineral density loss makes them more vulnerable to disease. Of these, 80% are women.<br />
<br />
Many people at risk of <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/12/bone-and-osteoporosis.html"><b>osteoporosis </b></a>does not know and did not discover until suffering a fracture, hence often called the "silent disease." This fracture, especially in the hips, vertebrae of the spine or wrist can occur with minimal trauma and cause chronic pain or disability in the joint. If the state of health is already affected, this fracture may make things worse and may be a cause of death in these patients.<br />
<br />
The bone are formed by a network of collagen type I on which the tank with calcium phosphate, which allows them to be as strong and flexible. <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/12/bone-and-osteoporosis.html"><b>Bone </b></a>is a tissue that is constantly remodeling. During resorption, osteoclasts dissolve bone and some enzymes break down the collagen network.<br />
<br />
This is followed by new bone formation by osteoblasts, which secrete osteocalcin and collagen precursors to form another network will again be mineralized. This process is continuous and is called bone remodeling occurs throughout the body, which is replaced by 8-10% of bone each year.<br />
<br />
During childhood education is greater than resorption, thereby increasing bone mass. This is often extended to 30 years. After formation and resorption decreases recovers, so that starts to decrease bone mass. Inadequate intake of calcium and vitamin D in infancy, the use of drugs that contain steroids (such as asthma medication), anorexia, sedentary lifestyle, snuff and excess alcohol are factors that increase the risk of osteoporosis throughout life.<br />
<br />
Some diseases, such as the thyroid, Cushing's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, kidney disease, hyperparathyroidism and vitamin D deficiency may have an effect on bone health. Those with a family history of osteoporosis also carry greater risk.<br />
<br />
Women, during menopause, may lose bone mass due to decreased estrogen. Early menopause increases the loss. According to some studies, a woman may lose more than 20% of their bone mass in the first 5 to 8 years after menopause. Men with low testosterone levels also have an increased risk of disease.<br />

A low body weight is usually indicative of poor or low bone mass. If you can not gain weight, try increasing your bone mass. It is advisable that people up "finite" improve muscle and bone mineral content through diet, sun and some exercise.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231642629251393997.post-50826384961006594612011-12-10T09:30:00.000-08:002011-12-11T08:11:54.552-08:00The Fight against the Symptoms and Causes of Chronic Osteoporosis<h1><i>Osteoporosis Vitamins </i></h1><h2><i>The Fight against the Symptoms and Causes of Chronic Osteoporosis </i></h2><h2><i> </i></h2><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

</tbody></table><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteoporosis"><b>Osteoporosis</b></a> is a chronic bone disease, which is critically characterized by low mass and loss of bone tissues in the body that leads to brittle bones of the sufferer. <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/fight-against-symptoms-and-causes-of.html"><b>Osteoporosis</b></a> diagnosis remains folded as the sufferer doesn’t realize the symptoms of the disease that easily. The risk factor involved with the disease is the break of bones particularly in the hip, spine, and wrist areas. It is a progressive disease during, which the sufferer in its eventual stages goes through some body changes such as back pain, declined posture, loss of height as the bones starts getting compact with frequent bone breaks.<br />
<br />
The insufficient supply of calcium and vital minerals to the body leads to disease, which causes chronic bone injuries and unstable break downs to the sufferer. The inadequate calcium level in body is identical through certain symptoms that cause the changes in the body developing health problems. Some of the identical symptoms of <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/fight-against-symptoms-and-causes-of.html"><b>osteoporosis</b></a> in the body of sufferer are as follows :<br />
<br />
1. The sufferer goes through chronic wrist, hip or spine breaks in the body.<br />
<br />
2. Feeling of pain in the bones of the sufferer.<br />
<br />
3. Often breaking of bones leading to painful suffering.<br />
<br />
4. Feeling of discomfort in the neck area or a disturbing neck pain or back pain.<br />
<br />
5. Changes in the body posture of the sufferer or loss of height.<br />
<br />
6. Abdominal pain or leg cramps at night.<br />
<br />
7. Gradual curving of the spine in the body.<br />
<br />
8. Feeling of constant tiredness and pain in the body.<br />
<br />
<h3><i>Some of the main osteoporosis causes which leads to the chronic stage of the critical bone disease are as follows :</i> </h3><br />
1. Decrease in estrogen levels in the body of the sufferer, which is highly prone to menopausal women is the main cause of the disease.<br />
<br />
2. Any history of broken bone in the past may increase the probability of suffering from the disease as broken bone lower the bone mineral density of the body.<br />
<br />
3. Underweight people who have relatively less bone mass as compared to the healthy ones are at the higher risk to suffer.<br />
<br />
4. Prolonged deficiency of calcium, minerals and vital proteins in the body also causes <a href="http://osteoporosis./"><b>osteoporosis.</b></a><br />
<br />
5. The problem can also be hereditary transferred to the generations, which can also be the cause of the disease.<br />
<br />
Some of the <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/fight-against-symptoms-and-causes-of.html"><b>osteoporosis</b></a> treatments to get relief from the complication of the disease are as follows:<br />
<br />
1. Prevention from break can be made sure by taking initiatives of carefully lifting or bending of heavy objects, while making sure to avoid falls as the condition may lead to any major breakdown of the bones.<br />
<br />
2. Increasing the amount of calcium supplements in the body may lead to less complication with the disease.<br />
<br />
3. The hormone replacement therapy to replace the level of oestrogen in the body.<br />
<br />
These are few treatments to make sure that <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/fight-against-symptoms-and-causes-of.html">osteoporosis</a> is treated accurately to maintain a healthy body. These are some few remedies for the treatment.

</tbody></table>Concerns over use of <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/fda-to-review-osteoporosis-drug-use.html"><b>osteoporosis</b></a> bone drugs containing bisphosphonate have led to an upcoming review by the FDA. This Friday, an advisory committee will meet to debate the risk associated with long-term use of drugs, such as Fosamax, Boniva, and Reclast, due to evidence that serious side effects, such as jawbone deterioration and atypical breaks occur when the prescription medications are used for an extended period of time.<br />
<br />
Bisphosphonates can increase mass to deteriorating bones and reduces the risk of future breaks caused by aging, estrogen deficiency and corticosteroid use. Oral bisphosphonates are typically prescribed for female patients with <b><a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/fda-to-review-osteoporosis-drug-use.html">osteoporosis</a>. </b>The condition causes bones to become more porous, meaning less solid and less dense. This gradually leads to bones becoming weaker and more brittle, leading to breaks. About 80 percent of people affected by <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/fda-to-review-osteoporosis-drug-use.html"><b>osteoporosis</b></a> are women. In addition, 80 percent of women over the age 65 have the disease.<br />
<br />
Bisphosphonates started carrying warnings on the risk of jawbone deterioration (called osteonecrosis) in 2005. While data is still incomplete on the cause of the deterioration, studies have shown that patients who take an oral form of bisphosphonates have a higher prevalence of the condition, particularly after having been on a daily regimen for four or more years.<br />
Additional warnings, added in 2010, were required due to reporting of an increase—albeit small—in atypical bone breaks in women who had long-term use of bisphosphonates. According to a review released last week by the FDA, atypical breaks appear to have a strong association with bisphosphonates, but there is no consensus on the extent that cumulative use of bisphosphonates increases the risk of atypical breaks.<br />
<br />
The committee will be discussing the benefits of taking a “drug holiday.” Studies have shown that women who take the drug for three years and then stop have the same break rate as those who continue taking the drug for longer periods of time.<br />
<br />
An Australian study, published in February of this year, found that certain <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/natural-osteoporosis-treatments.html"><b>osteoporosis treatments</b></a> can increase lifespan by five years. In addition, the findings held right whether or not a person suffered from the bone-density disorder. According to the Australian researchers from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, people taking bisphosphonates for the treatment of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteoporosis"><b>osteoporosis</b></a> were found to have a higher survival rate, and were really gaining an additional five years of life.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231642629251393997.post-71956217423631285412011-12-08T21:11:00.000-08:002011-12-08T21:11:07.985-08:00Nutritional Supplements for Bones and Joints<h1><i>Osteoporosis Vitamins </i></h1><h2><i>Nutritional Supplements for Bones and Joints </i></h2><i></i><br />

Nutritional <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/10/vitamin-supplements-osteoporosis.html">supplements</a> provide the nutrients needed to lubricate joints and rebuild cartilage, resulting in reduced arthritis and joint pain. In fact nutritional <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/10/vitamin-supplements-osteoporosis.html">supplements</a> for Bones have become well loved alternative treatments for arthritis and <b>osteoporosis.</b><br />
<br />
Supplements with calcium, magnesium and vitamin D are very essential for maintaining bone health, as Calcium helps in strong bone formation, Vitamin D helps in Calcium absorption and utilization, and magnesium helps in bone formation and joint support. <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/nutritional-supplements-can-strengthen.html"><b>Vitamin supplements</b></a> prevent the breakdown of cartilage. Inclusion of Boron, Copper, Silicon and Zinc in bone health supplement is essential, because Boron activates Vitamin D, and Silicon and Zinc helps in bone formation and <b>osteoporosis</b> support.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Vitamins D, A, C, E and B3 supplements</b></i> help in reducing pain and inflammation in people with osteoarthritis. <b>Vitamin E supplements</b> helps in significantly relieving from arthritis and joint pain. Nutritional supplements for Bones with glucosamine (glucosamine sulfate and N-Acetyl D-Glucosamine), chondroitin sulfate and crucial minerals help to build and maintain healthy, flexible cartilage which is very vital for joint health. Glucosamine has become a well loved natural nutritional supplement for the treatment of arthritis especially osteoarthritis. Nutritional supplement containing Glucosamine and Chondroitin plays an vital role in the maintenance of joint cartilage.<br />
<br />
Nutritional supplement with Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), Manganese and Vitamin C helps in maintaining joint health. Glucosamine and Chondroitin included in this joint health <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/nutritional-supplements-can-strengthen.html">supplement</a> promote wound healing by providing the necessary building blocks for new joint cartilage. Nutritional supplement with Omega 3 fatty acids helps people with rheumatoid and other inflammatory forms of arthritis and joint pain.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/nutritional-supplements-can-strengthen.html">Nutritional supplement</a> with Bromelain, a substance derived from pineapple, has natural pain relieving properties, and reduces pain more effectively with fewer side effects. Nutritional supplements for Bones made of avocado and soybean extracts have found to reduce pain and level of disability and increase the mobility range in people with bone disease. Intake of calcium <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/10/vitamin-supplements-osteoporosis.html">supplements</a> daily helps in maintaining bone strength and bone density, and helps in preventing <b>osteoporosis.</b><br />
<br />
The nutritional supplement with SAMe (S-Adenosyl-Methionine) which is a form of the amino acid, methionine, stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans which are vital components of connective tissue. SAMe helps to maintain the quality of cartilage. Nutritional supplement with MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) promotes healthy tissues & cells. If you suffer from osteoarthritis, try to include nutritional herbal supplements in your diet, along with omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin C, folic acid, and <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/10/vitamin-supplements-osteoporosis.html"><i><b>vitamins D and vitamin E supplements</b></i></a>.

<br />
<a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/most-important-supplement-multi-vitamin.html"><i><b>Multi vitamins</b></i></a> are so common these days you wouldn’t even reckon of them as a supplement. A <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/most-important-supplement-multi-vitamin.html"><i><b>multi vitamin</b></i></a> is defined in the dictionary as “a preparation intended to supplement a human diet with vitamins, minerals and other nutritional elements.”<br />
The US government categorizes <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/most-important-supplement-multi-vitamin.html"><i><b>multi vitamin</b></i></a> under “food”, because it contains 3 or more vitamins or minerals but does not contain herbs, hormones, or drugs.<br />
<br />
The <i><b>multi vitamin</b></i> can come in many forms such as tablets, capsules, packs, powders, liquids and even injections; but, injections can only be prescribed by a doctor.<br />
<br />
There are many different combinations and doses of <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/most-important-supplement-multi-vitamin.html"><b>vitamins</b></a> and minerals and many of them exceed the 100% recommended daily allowance. Depending on your physical needs, many of the excess <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/most-important-supplement-multi-vitamin.html"><b>vitamins</b></a> and minerals that cannot be digested are harmlessly excreted out of the body. There are a few that will not exceed the RDA such as <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/most-important-supplement-multi-vitamin.html"><b>Vitamin A, Vitamin K</b>,</a> Iron, and many of the trace elements because they are not easily depleted unless under extreme physical stress and could become toxic if too much is retained in the body. Because the body’s nutritional requirements will differ depending on your physical requirements and diet, most <i><b>multi vitamins</b></i> are formulated for specific groups of people such as men, woman, over the age of 50,prenatal, stress relief and athletic.<br />
<br />
<h3>Most Multi Mitamins Will Include These Standard Nutrients : </h3><br />
Vitamin A- Vitamin A plays a role in several functions throughout the body such as vision, bone metabolism, skin health, immune function, antioxidant activity and reproduction. It is found in many foods but these particular foods contain large amounts; liver, sweet potato, carrots, broccoli, kale, butter, spinach and leafy vegetables. Deficiencies in <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/most-important-supplement-multi-vitamin.html"><b>Vitamin A</b></a> can cause impaired vision, particularly in reduced light (night vision), impaired immunity and red bumps on the skin called Keratosis pilaris. Too much <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/most-important-supplement-multi-vitamin.html"><b>Vitamin A</b></a> can be toxic so do not take more than 5000 UI per day for males and 4000 UI per day for females.<br />
<br />
Vitamin C- Vitamin C helps keep your immune system strong and is a powerful antioxidant, helps reduce the risk of heart disease, plays a major role in collagen production and it helps the body recover quicker from a hard workout. <b>Vitamin C</b> can be found in many fruits, vegetables and in animal products such as raw cow’s milk and liver. Deficiencies in <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/most-important-supplement-multi-vitamin.html"><b>Vitamin C</b></a> is known to cause Scurvy, liver spots, feelings of depression, their skin looks pale, and are more susceptible to lung borne diseases.<br />
<br />
Vitamin D- Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus and is necessary for thyroid function and bone growth. <b>Vitamin D</b> is naturally produced by the body when it’s exposed to sunlight but due to the negative effects of UV rays; many foods such as dairy products, oil, cereal and bread are now enriched with <b>Vitamin D</b>. You can also find <b>Vitamin D</b> in fatty fishes, eggs, and liver. Deficiencies in <b>Vitamin D</b> in children can cause Rickets, a growth deformity of the bones. In adults deficiencies can cause thinning of the bones (Osteomalacia) and reduced density of the bones (<a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/most-important-supplement-multi-vitamin.html"><i><b>Osteoporosis</b></i></a>). <b>Vitamin D</b> deficiencies have also been linked to diseases such as type 1 diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, and multiple sclerosis.<br />
<br />
Vitamin E- Vitamin E is another powerful antioxidant and is vital for a healthy immune system. Vitamin E is vital for hard training athletes as their immune systems can be worn down and make them susceptible to health issues. <i><b>Vitamin E</b></i> can be found in foods such as whole grains, nuts, milk, eggs, asparagus, vegetable oils and avocados. There have been no known symptoms of deficiencies in <b>Vitamin E.</b><br />

</tbody></table><b>Vitamin K- Vitamin K</b> plays a key role in blood coagulation, bone metabolism, and the circulatory system. <b>Vitamin K</b> is found mainly in green leafy vegetables but can also be found in avocados and kiwifruit. There are usually no symptoms of deficiencies in adults; but, adults that suffer from liver hurt, cystic fibrosis, who have recently had abdominal surgery, bulimics and certain drugs may inhibit the absorption of Vitamin K. Symptoms of deficiencies are anemia, bruising and nose bleeding. Vitamin K should be stored in the cupboard as it will lose its potency in sunlight.<br />
<br />
B Vitamins- There are 8 distinctive <b>vitamins</b> that fall under B vitamins umbrella and are discussed in detail here. B <b>Vitamins</b> play a key role in increasing the rate of metabolism, maintaining healthy skin and muscle tone, enhancing immune system and nervous system functions and promoting cell growth. B Vitamins can be found in a variety of foods such as animal products, legumes, yeast, fish, seeds and whole grains. Deficiencies in B <b>Vitamins</b> can cause various symptoms such as weight loss, weakness of the limbs, depression, sensitivity to sunlight, diarrhea, insomnia, acne, water retention, and high blood pressure.<br />
<br />
Calcium- Is the most abundant mineral in the human body, 99% of it is contained in the bones and teeth. Calcium plays a role in many biological functions such as muscle contraction and as a neurotransmitter between cells, but Calcium’s claim to fame is its role in bone development and sustaining bone density. Calcium can be found in many foods such as dairy products, nuts, sesame seeds, lentils, and eggs. Symptoms of Calcium deficiencies are <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/most-important-supplement-multi-vitamin.html"><i><b>Osteoporosis</b></i></a> and Osteomalacia, thinning of the bones.<br />
<br />
Potassium- Potassium is a mineral that can reduce hypertension, heart disease and stroke. Potassium also plays a role in neurotransmission, muscle contraction and heart function. Most fruits, vegetables and meats contain Potassium in low quantities, but orange juice, bananas, kiwi, potatoes, tomatoes, broccoli, soybeans, brown rice, and garlic are rich in Potassium. Deficiencies of Potassium are rare but in severe cases of vomiting and diarrhea can lead to symptoms such as muscle weakness and cramps.<br />
<br />
Zinc- Zinc is an essential metallic trace element which assists in many functions within the body. It is instrumental in immune response, brain function and plays a role in prostate gland health and reproductive organ growth. Zinc plays a major role in cellular metabolism as over 100 enzymes rely on zinc to be a catalyst in many chemical reactions. Zinc also helps DNA tell cells what to do such as hormone secretion and nerve impulses; which is vital for growth and disease prevention. Zinc is found in red meat in high concentrations but it is also found in whole grains, beans, almonds, and various seeds. Deficiencies in Zinc can cause repressed growth, diarrhea, impotence and weakened immune system.<br />
<br />
Magnesium- Magnesium is another metallic trace element that is essential for all cells in a living organism. Over 300 enzymes require Magnesium to be the catalyst in various chemical reactions including synthesis of ATP into energy. Magnesium also facilitates calcium absorption into the body. Magnesium is found in spices, nuts cereals, coffee, cocoa, tea and green leafy vegetables. Modern countries have inadvertently reduced the amount of Magnesium intake due to the food refining process and modern fertilizers; which do not contain Magnesium. Deficiencies in Magnesium do not usually show symptoms, but deficiencies have been associated with the development of certain illnesses such as asthma, <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/most-important-supplement-multi-vitamin.html"><i><b>osteoporosis</b></i></a> and ADHD.<br />
<br />
Chromium- Chromium is another metallic trace element that is required for the body’s production of insulin. Insulin is a hormone that regulates the body’s blood sugar levels. Chromium helps transport blood sugar from the bloodstream into the cells and is critical in the process of turning fats, carbs and proteins into energy. Excellent sources of Chromium are brewer’s yeast, meats, whole grains, nuts and cooking with stainless steel cookware. Symptoms of deficiencies in Chromium are rare; but, in severe cases it can cause weight loss, confusion and insulin resistance.<br />
<br />
Manganese- Manganese is another metallic trace element that ensures healthy bones, bone metabolism and helps the body absorb Calcium. It is also involved in, insulin regulation, formation of connective tissues, thyroid regulation, collagen formation, metabolism of fats and carbohydrates and is a powerful antioxidant. Manganese can be found in many foods such as meats, nuts, garlic, green vegetables, brown rice, and raspberries. Deficiencies in Manganese are rare but can occur. Symptoms include bone malformation, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and muscular contraction.<br />
<br />
Iron- Iron is another metallic trace element that is essential for life. Iron is essential to the proteins that are involved in oxygen transport and for regulating cell growth and metabolism. Iron can be found in meats, cereal’s fortified with iron and cooking with iron cookware. Deficiencies in Iron cause a lack of oxygen to be delivered to the cells and therefore results in fatigue, restless sleep, lack of concentration and decreased immunity. Conversely, too much Iron in the body is very toxic and therefore many vitamins state on the bottle either “with Iron” or “without Iron”. Iron’s RDA for men are 10 mg and for women is 15mg a day, but for athletes, it could be as much as 25 mg a day.<br />
<br />
Selenium- Selenium is another metallic trace element that is essential in the activation of glutathione peroxidases, a powerful antioxidant. Selenium is also required for the proper functioning of the thyroid. Selenium can be found in many foods such as nuts, fish, meats, eggs crab and lobster. There are no symptoms of deficiencies of Selenium but when supplemented it seems to have a positive effect on male infertility, cancer cells, and tuberculosis.<br />

<h3>How is your diet and what are your physical needs ? </h3><br />
The majority of Americans do not eat a balanced diet to provide them with all the nutrients to fight off disease, keep bones healthy, protect the skin, cardiovascular health, give us energy and in general to keep us healthy. The proper amount of each nutrient is dependent on your physical needs. Choosing the right <i><b>multi vitamin</b></i> can be hard but here are some things to consider when purchasing a <i><b>multi vitamin</b></i>.<br />
<br />
Athletes- You will need a <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/most-important-supplement-multi-vitamin.html"><i><b>multi vitamin</b></i></a> with higher overall content as many of them are depleted or excreted out of the body via sweating or urination. These vitamins are especially susceptible to being depleted, B vitamins for energy, potassium for muscle regulation, iron for proper oxygen transport and muscle growth, Vitamin C for proper immune system regulation and calcium for strong bones. If your body’s Calcium reserves are depleted your body will “steal” it from your bones and can lead to future skeletal diseases. Many <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/most-important-supplement-multi-vitamin.html"><b>vitamins</b></a> will contain amino acids for muscle building and recovery and high levels of antioxidants to eliminate the free radicals produced by a strenuous workout.<br />
<br />
Adults over 50- May want to take a <b>multivitamin</b> that is higher in Calcium and vitamin D for bone health and to prevent <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/most-important-supplement-multi-vitamin.html"><i><b>osteoporosis</b></i></a>. B vitamins are vital for energy and proper absorption of nutrients from food and as we age, our bodies are less able to absorb them. CoQ10 for heart health and energy and as we get older our production levels decreases. Vitamin K for bone health and its antioxidant properties have been shown to prohibit the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Lycopene to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and has been shown to have positive effects on prostate health.<br />
<br />
Prenatal- Will have a higher concentration of B9 (Folic Acid) for proper brain, spine and skull formation in fetuses, calcium for proper bone formation and iron for the proper development of red blood cells. It will also have a reduced level of Vitamin A as it can cause health defects in fetuses.<br />
<br />
Women- Need to have a <a href="http://osteoporosis-vitamins.blogspot.com/2011/09/most-important-supplement-multi-vitamin.html"><i><b>multi vitamin</b></i></a> higher in calcium for strong bones, as women usually do not get enough from their diet alone. Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid) for overall health, preventing genetic diseases, and may also prevent cancer and heart disease. Women also need more Iron as women do not eat much meat and they lose a lot of iron every month through menstruation.<br />
<br />
Men- Need Boron for prostate health, calcium for healthy bones, chromium to regulate blood sugar levels, Folic Acid for regulating blood flow and reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, glucosamine for joint health, and the omegas to reduce blood pressure and for heart health.<br />
<br />
Stress Relief- Will be loaded with B vitamins as they produce anti stress hormones and vitamin C to prevent stress related illness.<br />
<br />
<h3>Conclusion </h3><br />
