Nearly 1 in 2 women and 1 in 4 men over age 50 will break a bone in their lifetime due to osteoporosis.
Osteomalacia refers to the softening or weakening of bones due to problems with bone formation or the bone building process often caused by a vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is an important nutrient that helps in absorbing calcium in the stomach. Low levels of vitamin D means that one cannot process calcium for use in the bones to give them structural strength. This can result from either a problem with diet, lack of sun exposure or a problem with the intestines.
Are you one of those people who is under the impression that strength training is only for men? Well you are wrong! Women also need to practice strength training in their exercise routine.
Bone spurs, also called osteophytes are bony projections that develop along the edges of the bones. A bone spur is usually smooth, but it can cause wear and tear as well as pain if it presses or rubs on other bones or soft tissues such as tendons, nerves or ligaments in the body. Bone spurs are commonly found in the spine, shoulders, hands, hips, feet and knees. The most common cause of bone spurs is wear and tear arthritis.
Bone health is often taken for granted until a bone is broken, or you are diagnosed with osteoporosis.
It's true that we lose bone as we age. Bone loss can cause osteoporosis, where bones can become so thin that they break. Fractures from osteoporosis are a leading cause of disability. The good news: Osteoporosis isn't a natural part of aging -- there's plenty you can do to keep your bones strong and healthy.
There are numerous physical activities that promote better bone health in addition to providing you with ample exercise.
The following FAQs on strength training & cardio workout, are intended to shed some light on facts and myths, and simplify what can seem to be very daunting in your fitness journey. How long should a typical strength training session last?
The strength training portion of your fitness plan can last anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. Studies show that after about 60 minutes your glycogen (stored carbs or fuel for effective exercise) is spent and you risk overtraining; it is actually counterproductive to train much past that.
Occurring mainly among older population, it is also sometimes called degenerative joint disease or osteoarthrosis. The effect of osteoarthritis is most often seen in the hands, knees, hips, spine and lower back. The cartilage that normally cushions the joints wears away, eventually disintegrating into nothing. As this occurs, the resultant grinding of bone against bone causes bone spurs to form. The joint may swell and lose the ability to move freely.
Bone Mineral Density (BMD) is an indicator of osteoporosis and fracture risk.
