Natural osteoporosis treatment

Osteoporosis can best be described as a disease in which your bones become weaker. Unfortunately, if left untreated, osteoporosis can eventually progress to fractures or broken bones. Fractures most commonly occur in the hip, spine and wrist. There have been numerous scientific and medical studies into osteoporosis and a positive link has been proven between good bone health and consuming fruit and vegetables. Foods that are high in calcium such as turnip greens, spinach, kale, dried figs and broccoli are amongst the best to treat osteoporosis. It is also highly advisable that you should look to reduce your intake of alcohol, caffeine, cola, sugar and red meat. You should also look to completely cut out smoking. Many of these foods mentioned will actually decrease digestive enzyme secretion that your body typically requires to absorb calcium.

It is also extremely important to control your weight when looking to treat osteoporosis naturally. If you are overweight or even obese, you should be aware that you are putting far more stress and pressure on your bones and joints. Therefore, if you are packing a few extra pounds, it is vital that you lose weight in order to reduce your risk of osteoporosis. You should aim to exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, five times a week. Sports that involve using your legs such as jogging, walking, swimming or tennis can be some of the best forms of treatment for osteoporosis. Studies have also shown us that by taking additional supplements in your diet such as vitamin D and calcium, you are able to reduce the risk of many fall related fractures that are most common in the elderly.

However it is very important to understand that homoeopathic treatments are not specifically a cure for any chronic conditions or diseases, they are simply aimed at bringing your body to a balanced chemical state so it is able to deal with stress and illnesses. A homoeopath may also use specific tissue salts or other forms of medication. Although homoeopathic medicines will not reverse any existing bone loss, they will allow for a far better absorption of essential minerals and nutrients.
