Ironically, osteoporosis is one of the diseases that can be prevented with more easily; just a diet rich in calcium and an active life. And so, why is so common? First, because prevention should begin from the adolescence, because the erosion of the bones is a process silent that occurs in a few years, second because, at times, the doctors who treat people with fractures failed to investigate if your patient may osteoporosis.

The importance of calcium:
The deposits of this ore should fill during adolescence and the first adulthood, because in the 25 years the bone density reaches its peak and considers that the process of construction of the bones ends at the 30 years. That is why, if not taken the calcium needed every day, the body runs the risk of a lack of this mineral. The best prevention is to have a good food and an active lifestyle, to maintain healthy bones throughout life. For those who believe that this is a female sickness, we say that they are very wrong because men are not exempt from osteoporosis,
While it is true that women are more likely to suffer.

Data to take into account:
• 5 To 1 is the extent to which a woman suffers from osteoporosis in connection with the man.
• 1 of every 4 women over 50 years, he suffers from osteoporosis.
• 50 Per cent of women older than 75 years who suffer from osteoporosis suffer a hip fracture.
