Osteoporosis is the loss of bone density, and can go unnoticed and undetected until you start breaking bones – which is a scary thought because by the time your bone density is low enough to cause fractures, it is more of a challenge to exercise and enjoy a healthy quality of life without fear of additional injury or accident.
When bones begin to lose mass, they become brittle, weak, and are more likely to break. It may be a fall or even a sneeze! Early diagnosis makes a difference, and while osteoporosis is a debilitating disease, it can be prevented, treated, and it’s never too late to take steps to protect your bones.
