What happens in osteoporosis? 

Bones become weak and soft in a condition called osteoporosis. They are fragile and easily prone to features and bone pains. Even a minor fall, sneeze, bump, or sudden jerk may cause a fracture of the bones. 

Symptoms of Osteoporosis 

Many patients often show no signs and symptoms of osteoporosis until the first fracture occurs. This is often called a “Silent Disease.” 

Importance of Bone Health - Vitamin D and Calcium is necessary to keep bones strong

Bones become weak in osteoporosis. Its density and mass are greatly reduced. However, these lost bone density and mass can be regained provided you include calcium in your diet in high amounts. For this, you should include calcium-rich foods for healthy bones in the diet. Consume green leafy vegetables, whole grains, milk, yogurt, and other beverages which are good sources of calcium every day. Along with this, the consumption of sesame seeds also has a positive effect on the bones.

It must be noted for patients dealing with osteoporosis that vitamin D is very important for the absorption of calcium. Many people globally have low levels of vitamin D which generally goes unnoticed. A regular checkup of Vitamin D and Calcium levels is very essential for maintaining healthy bones. Adequate levels of Vitamin D can help in keeping bone issues and other complications at bay.
