1 Every time a child takes a soft drink, he is laying the groundwork 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 aren’t just in jeopardy for brittle bones and fracture decades down the roads. They could be at risk of osteoporosis at a younger age than ever before.
2 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 percent of older people who suffer a broken hip die within a year. Osteoporosis is not just your grandmother's health threat. Although it strikes over fifty million women in India, it also enhances over twelve 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's important that we adopt preventive measures, to save millions of people.
3 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. He says," It’s never too late to adopt bone-friendly habits-exercise, get enough sunlight, and have adequate calcium. This way, we can keep our bones healthy and prevent osteoporosis.”
