When it comes to bone health, most people have heard of "calcium supplements" and "more exercise." But few people truly understand the role bones play in the body and why they weaken with age. This explains why osteoporosis and insufficient bone mass are so common in adults.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

Please note: This article is a compilation of lifestyle and nutrition information and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, have had a fracture, or are currently taking medications that affect bones (such as steroids or osteoporosis medications), please consult a doctor, physical therapist, or registered dietitian before making any adjustments to your exercise, diet, or supplements. Do not replace medical treatment with supplements.<\/p>\r\n

I. Bones are living tissue: Why does bone loss occur?<\/h2>\r\n

The skeleton is not a static framework, but...living tissue<\/strong>Throughout life, we are constantly renewing ourselves through a cycle of "breaking down old bone and generating new bone." Although everyone's skeleton may look similar, bone density tests (DEXA scans) can often reveal significant individual differences.<\/p>\r\n

During childhood and adolescence, the body produces new bone faster than it breaks down old bone, resulting in a continuous increase in bone mass.Bone mass typically peaks around age 30.<\/strong>After that, the rate of bone regeneration gradually cannot keep up with the rate of bone breakdown, and bone mass slowly declines with age. When too much bone is lost and bones become brittle and prone to fracture, it may be osteoporosis.<\/p>\r\n

The UK National Health Service (NHS) pointed out<\/a>Osteoporosis progresses slowly and is often not discovered until a fall or impact causes a fracture. The most common fracture sites are the wrist, hip, and spine; sometimes even a cough or sneeze can cause a rib fracture or spinal collapse. Women experience particularly rapid bone loss in the first few years after menopause and are at higher risk than men, but men, younger women, and children can also develop it.<\/p>\r\n
