Osteoporosis, It's Not An Age Related Illness

Osteoporosis, It's Not An Age Related Illness

Osteoporosis, (porous bones) affects many of the aged in American culture. When the bones become progressively demineralized it leads to a condition in which they become so brittle that a simple fall can easily break a leg, hip, shoulder or arm. A simple sneeze might cause a broken rib. A common characteristic of this condition is that sufferers are usually bent over and their bodies stiff almost to the point of rigidity.

Most people probably attribute this condition tojust another of the hazards of growing old, but this should not in any way be considered a natural symptom of the normal aging process. America, Finland and Sweden boast the highest rates of osteoporosis in the world. These countries also consume the most animal flesh which also has a dangerously high saturated fat and protein content. It is precisely this high protein diet which many doctors believe to be the cause of our high rate of osteoporosis.

A plethora ofexamples could be cited but some astonishing data concerns the Vilcabanbas of Peru. Many in this culture routinely live to be one hundred years of age and these centurions continue to maintain a high level of energy and considerable flexibility and dexterity. Other notable examples are the Hunzas and the Yucatan Mayas. These peoplealso have manycitizens whichlive to be one hundred years of age and have no signs whatsoever of osteoporosis. These statistics are not sleight of hand but real live truth which should make every thinking person pause and consider.

The National Dairy Council of the United States would have us believe that we need over twelve hundred milligrams of calcium each day or we will certainly become calcium deficient. The problem however is not that we do not ingest enough calcium on a daily bases but that our high protein diet leaves us with an abnormally high concentration of uric acid residuein the body which must be neutralized by calcium. This is the reason for the supposed necessity of high concentrations of calcium in our diet and also one of the ways the dairy industry attempts to scare us into buying more cow's milk. In reality thebody is constantly in the process of stealing calcium from thebones and teethto continue neutralizing the excessive build up of uric acid. A growing body of medical doctors and scientists are all saying just this and if one takes the time to study these experts conclusions it really is quite logical.

The bottom line is that your calcium deficiency is not the result of too little intake of calcium in your diet but because you eat toohigh a level ofanimal fleshas well astheir by-products. High protein and calcium is contraindicatedif you would experience optimum bone mass health.

You owe it to yourself and your family tobe a conscientious consumer and see if these facts are not indeed true. If you find that your diet has beenkilling you,you should seek to adopt a healthy vegetarian diet which consists of unrefined whole grains,raw fruits and vegetables, seeds, nuts, and beans. It should be obvious that these food choices are good for your body. Your mother knew that many years ago which is why you can still remember her often saying, "Eat your vegetables". That's my message. Eat your vegetables and stay away from the flesh of intelligent animals.

Eating thesedocile creatures which were tortured for their artificially shortened life and then brutally slaughteredis the reason you are overweight, have high cholesterol, brittle bones, advanced hardening of the arteries, diabetes, and will likely die of a heart attack.If this does not sound like optimum healthto you then you should consider changing your diet and getting a little exercise. Eating whole foods from the earth and adopting a reasonable exercise program is about ninety percent of the battle. You will look better, feel better, weigh less and live longer. You will also save about five hundred dollars per year if expensive meat stays out of the shopping cart.

These should be compelling enough reasons to at least study out the issue from informed sources (not the USDA, or the American Meat Institute) and then make an informed decision followed by action. I assure you that if you make a positive decision in the area of your diet, combined with a little exercise, that six months from now you will see a new you when you look in the mirror. Give it a try! You have nothing to lose (except a bunch of excess weight) and everything to gain!
