What is Osteoporosis?

“Osteoporosis causes your bones to become thinner and weaker than normal. This means they can break more easily even after a small bump or a fall from standing height. It is called the “silent disease” because bone loss often occurs without symptoms until you break a bone. These breaks are often called fragility fractures. “Fracture” and “broken bone” mean the same thing. Understanding osteoporosis is the first step to preventing and managing it. This involves knowing what the condition is, how it affects your body, and what you can do to maintain healthy bones throughout your life. “ To find out more visit: Osteoporosis New Zealand or view my page on Strength Training for bone health.
