Osteoporosis: A Drug Named Sport

T
he figures of osteoporosis are simmering. With the extension of life expectancy, the disease has become a major health problems of our society. However, there are remedies.

There are in Europe some 1.6 million "spontaneous fractures" per year, ie that the bone breaks alone without having undergone any real impact.

In a country like France, an estimated 3 million women are suffering from post-menopausal osteoporosis. Among them, nearly one in two suffer a fracture. This evil is decidedly havoc.

Behind this barbaric name, it means simply a phenomenon of progressive decalcification of the skeleton. Can we escape ? Yes, but it means to consolidate its skeleton from the earliest age. How? By sport!

The sport is extremely beneficial for bone health. During growth, it favors increasing the skeletal mass. That means we have senescence with stocks higher!

In adulthood, the sport requires the skeleton of the constraints of pressures and tensions that stimulate its mechanisms for strengthening. In addition, physical activity improves the process of conservation of calcium in the kidney.

It saves the precious mineral but not escape in the urine. We must choose his sport carefully. For the elderly and already affected by osteoporosis, swimming is often presented as the perfect activity: fragile bones are not subjected to a load too heavy and traumatic shock waves like those caused during the race on foot.

For younger people who seek only to protect them, all disciplines are good. Provided that hot.
