[A] Read the following passage carefully.
Every time a child takes a soft drink, he's laying the ground work for a dangerous bone disease. No, fizzy and
sugary drinks don't
cause osteoporosis. But, because they are often a substitute for a glass of milk, kids are
not getting the calcium and vitamin D they need to build a strong skeleton. Many of them also lead a
sedentary lifestyle, so they aren't getting the bone building benefits for vigorous exercise either. These
children tend to suffer from brittle bones and tend to suffer from fractures later on in life. They could be at a
risk of being diagnosed with osteoporosis at an early age.
The Indian Society for Bone and Mineral Research, a body of osteoporosis experts is trying to spread
awareness about this bone crippling disease. Osteoporosis starts in childhood but has consequences later in
life. The condition causes bones to become riddled with holes, like the framework of a house that's been
attacked by termites. That can lead to broken bones, which in turn can cause deformity, chronic pain or
disability
Osteoporosis can be fatal : up to 25 per cent of older people who suffer a broken hip die within a year.
Osteoporosis isn't just your grandmother's health threat. Although it strikes over 50 million women in India,
it also menaces over 12 million men. Osteoporosis causes loss of height, pain in joints and back, fractures and
a fear of fractures, and can be very depressing. So it is important that we adopt preventive measures, to save
millions of people.
There is a new medical understanding of the best ways to protect ourselves and our children." Simple
Lifestyle changes and nutrition will help save your bones,' says Dr. Mittal. To get us moving in the right
direction, he says, " It's never too late to adopt bone-friendly habits -- exercise, get enough sunlight, and have
adequate calcium
