Recently, one of my friends shared some very bad news with me;
she had been diagnosed with osteoporosis and was taking medication to treat her
osteoporosis. Unfortunately, she suffered from kidney failure due to the
medication.
This dreadful situation prompted me to share what I know and how we can treat osteoporosis
in a natural way. Firstly, we need to gain a better understanding, what is
Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis commonly happens as part of the ageing process for men and women. The density of our bones is impacted by many
factors and one of them is the decrease in hormones, for women it occurs at the
cease of menstruation. Men also
experience a decrease in their hormone levels although it occurs over a longer
period of time and is a slower process.
Even though most people would love to stop the ageing
process completely, the honest truth is that we can’t, although we can slow it
down by establishing healthy practices that encourage our bodies, minds and
spirit to be the most vital at any age!
For example:
Optimum health
includes; good circulation -
balanced nutrition - bone cell in a good metabolic condition
A taxed health system suffers from; poor
circulation - unbalanced nutrition - bone cell degeneration - Osteoporosis
Are you suffering from Osteoporosis?
Some factors to consider: Are you
suffering from pain; in the back, bones, legs, muscles and knees?
Osteoporosis may develop further, decreasing the length of
the spine creating pressure on the heart and lung systems. Circulation is
compromised and shallow breathing may result as a consequence of managing pain.
There is the old adage, Use
it or lose it!
Circulation is key! So how can we cultivate better circulation? It can be as
simple as, if you are feeling pain it is blockage, the blockage is causing the
pain. If your circulation is running better, the pain will ease.
A recent scientific research study with 400 people proved that when the muscles
are stronger, the bones are stronger. Less muscles, density of the bones
is also lower. The muscles are around the bones, protecting bones, it
makes sense that the bones will be stronger, like we build a building, we have
structures and frames, like our body has bones. Bones and muscles also need
support through what we eat, bones need sufficient nutrients and a balanced diet.
Improvement
of circulation is very important: muscles protect the bone, and then the
bone is stronger. For people who already have an Osteoporosis diagnosis,
the kidney may also be vulnerable due to the medication; the kidney system
needs to work harder to filter the medication. Therefore, create a healthy lifestyle
with specific exercises that will encourage breathing regulation, charge energy
within, to be able to send to each cell of your muscles. We all know that
through our breathing we receive oxygen, our body turns oxygen into energy - Chi,
through deeper breathing, blood circulation increases and is sent to each and
every cell of the muscle, therefore oxygen enriching exercises are much better.
Improvement of your digestion - spleen
and stomach system. Not only do we need to ensure we receive
nutrient rich, balanced foods we also need a healthy digestion system to absorb
the necessary vitamins and minerals to maintain our muscles and bones.
