Walk away from osteoporosis

How much milk do you need to drink in order to prevent calcium deficiency?

How much calcium supplements do we need?

How much cattle brain matter (or that of any animal) do we need to consume in order to become smarter?

Osteoporosis is an abnormal loss of bony tissue resulting in fragile porous bones attributable to a lack of calcium; most common in postmenopausal women.

All three questions (above) can be answered using the same logic. Osteoporosis is due to a deficiency - resulting in an abnormal loss of bony tissue.

If you exercise your brain, you become smarter. You muscles? Exercise not only makes our muscles stronger, it makes our bones stronger as well.

How?

Exercise is a signal to our bodies to use the nutrients we take in our food. Taking hundreds of dollars of calcium supplements is not the way to strengthen our bones - it's regular exercise.

Without physical activity, our bodies will not sense a need to use all that unnatural source of calcium in those pills or shakes or concoctions that we call supplements.

Our food already has enough nutrients. It's the lack of exercise that is the biggest disease problem in a society filled with cars, escalators, elevators, and many unused walking trails.

We can get out and wake up our bones. Walk. Let your bones "feel" the need for more calcium.
