Suppose your father is sitting on the balcony chair reading the newspaper in the afternoon. Then he got a little injury on his leg. Then when he was taken to the doctor, the doctor said that your father's bone is broken. It was not such an injury that the rate would be broken, but why did the bone break? Such questions are turning in your head. At that time the doctor checked and found that your father has osteoporosis which is a bone disease. In this disease, even if there is no injury, the bone can be broken or the bone can be broken with a slight injury.
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by loss of bone mass and density. At this time the bone structure changes and the pressure tolerance decreases. The number of bone holes increases. Various irregularities, bad habits, people are affected by this disease when they are old.
Non-Hispanic white women and Asian women are most likely to develop osteoporosis. The disease is less common in African women. This disease can occur at any age. However, elderly people are more prone to this disease. If the age is more, the level of rate production decreases. In addition, obese people may have this disease. This disease can also be due to family history where the parent was affected by the disease, later the child can also be affected. Children are also affected by this disease but they can recover without treatment.
In old age, the ability to regrow bone decreases, so osteoporosis is more common in the elderly. Cells and tissues of bone are replaced throughout human life but this process is disrupted in old age. This means that lost bone is naturally regenerated, but with aging, bone mass and strength decrease.
Women are more likely to have osteoporosis than men. This is because women's bone mass and rate are smaller. Apart from this, women can suffer from this disease if there is a shortage of estrogen hormone after menstruation. In men, testosterone deficiency increases the risk of osteoporosis.
If the level of calcium and vitamin D in food is low, malnutrition, lack of food can be the cause of osteoporosis. Some medications also increase the risk of osteoporosis. Those who don't do physical exercise, don't exercise are more at risk of getting this disease.
Osteoporosis has no noticeable symptoms so it can be called a silent disease. Usually, when the bone is broken, the doctor diagnoses the disease. Apart from this, if you observe the history of bone fracture, it can be understood that he is suffering from osteoporosis.
To stay away from this disease, exercise every day, do physical work. Walk regularly. Avoid smoking and drinking. Eat foods rich in calcium and vitamin D. Get treatment if you have hormonal problems. Who eats more milk, eggs etc. Reduce caffeine intake. Avoid bone injury.

Just like low calcium level can lead to Osteoporosis, hypercalcemia can also weaken bones. This is the paradox of science and health but in all it is good to care for our bone as well as be active. If you are inactive, your bones starts to get weaker.
well said, We should keep us active to maintain bone health
