I wouldn't rate Osteoporosis particularly highly unless the vertebral bodies have started to collapse increasing the AP curve changing the muscle balance. Please don't self diagnose this condition. The only way you can tell osteoporosis in the early onset is with bone density scans. Diet and lifestyle are major factors in preventing osteoporosis. A diet too rich in protein and sugar is very damaging to bone health as is a very sedentary lifestyle (and having babies when you have a gynae age of less than 4. Your Gynae age is calculated by the age you are when you first menstruate. A girl aged 14 who started menstruating at 12 and a girl of 16 who started menstruating at 14 both have a gynae age of 2). A diet deficient in Calcium is also damaging to bone health. If hip hop dancers are prone to Osteoporosis I suspects its because they are undernourished rather than because of their activity. I treated a lot of dancers when i practiced in the UK as the clinic I worked in had a contract with a dance school. They virtually all had eating disorders and were osteoporosis waiting to happen. I suspect your low back pain is probably because you have a deep lumbar curve if you do a lot of dancing.<br><b>References : </b><br>NZ registered Osteopath. There are many causes to low back pain.

]]> Comment on What is the single most important factor in reducing the incidence of osteoporosis in older women? by EROS7776 http://www.strongbonesnaturally.com/osteoporosis-risk/what-is-the-single-most-important-factor-in-reducing-the-incidence-of-osteoporosis-in-older-women/comment-page-1#comment-253 EROS7776 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 04:44:59 +0000 http://www.strongbonesnaturally.com/osteoporosis-risk/what-is-the-single-most-important-factor-in-reducing-the-incidence-of-osteoporosis-in-older-women#comment-253 I think the best method to help prevent osteoporosis is exercise. Exercise strengthens the bones in men and women. Also there are good medications on the market to help prevent this condition: If the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis is the only issue under consideration, then bisphosphonates such as alendronate, ibandronate, or risedronate are more effective than menopausal hormone therapy in preventing osteoporotic fractures, and less likely to be associated with substantial adverse effects. So far, bisphosphonates are the most effective category or prescription medications for treating postmenopausal osteoporosis. hope this helps..<br><b>References : </b><br> I think the best method to help prevent osteoporosis is exercise.

Do cart wheels to the mail box, side step it to the train, jitter bug your way down the road.<br><b>References : </b><br>Boston Medical Jornel Stop dancing!

]]> Comment on Is a diet of soy beans products good for osteoporosis patient or is soy beans products makes worst for them? by Susan Yarrawonga http://www.strongbonesnaturally.com/osteoporosis-risk/is-a-diet-of-soy-beans-products-good-for-osteoporosis-patient-or-is-soy-beans-products-makes-worst-for-them/comment-page-1#comment-250 Susan Yarrawonga Thu, 14 Jan 2010 21:59:59 +0000 http://www.strongbonesnaturally.com/osteoporosis-risk/is-a-diet-of-soy-beans-products-good-for-osteoporosis-patient-or-is-soy-beans-products-makes-worst-for-them#comment-250 Any one who is into soy products instead of dairy products needs to take a zinc supplement every day and also a calcium supplement. To improve your iron absorption you could take some extra vitamin C. The magnesium content in soy products is quite high (something like 300 mg per 100 gm of soy product), so even if only 50% of that is absorbed you will still get enough magnesium. If you don't take any extra calcium to avoid a possible or even likely calcium deficiency due to the phytic acid and phytates in soy products then your osteoporosis will get worse. So clearly, soy products are no good for osteoporosis patients.<br><b>References : </b><br>Soy research (you have obviously done the same yourself as you more or less knew the answer to your own question).
