Menopause and Bone Health

Its strange when you hear that someone fell and broke her bones due to the fall. Knowing all along she had Osteoporisis. The sad thing is that while she was walking her bone snapped as it was too porous and that caused her to fall. Not the other way round.

So!

Why This bone lose?

The rate of bone lose is more rapid starting from the age of 55. especially following menopause. Now days we see younger women in their forties victims of this disease.

We need calcium based products such as Soy to help with this condition. Soy products can help reduce the mood swing and help replace female hormones.

Non Modifiable factors are :

  • Gender: Women are more prone
  • Age: Bone loss increase as we age
  • Body size: The larger the person the more the calcium bank and hence lower the risk
  • Sunlight: Older people exercise less outside and hence Vit D cannot be synthesised to help with the absorption of Calcium

We strongly recommend Calcium manufactured by LeadingUSCompany.
