Osteoporosis is the degeneration, or break down, of bone matrix. Osteoporosis cannot be reversed, but there are things that can be done to decrease the degeneration of bone in the body, like weight-bearing exercise. Walking and weight lifting is a fantastic way to keep your bones strong as well as taking in 1200mg of calcium a day with Vitamin D to help absorb the calcium. Talk with your doctor if this is a condition you are experiencing and need more information for dietary guidelines.

How do you compare and contrast primary and secondary osteoporosis?

There are several medical texts out in the world that define Osteoporosis as either Primary Osteoporosis or Secondary Osteoporosis. Primary osteoporosis is said to be a bone disorder of relatively unknown origin that occurs with aging and accelerates later on in life. Secondary osteoporosis, is the type of osteoporosis that has a direct cause. This type of osteoporosis is "secondary to," or caused by, something else.Many medical professionals consider all Osteoporosis to actually be Secondary Osteoporosis. This is because there are many known factors. Doctors have said that if one examines things closely enough....you will be able to find a secondary cause for almost every case of osteoporosis. There are many disorders, factors and conditions that have been associated with the development of osteoporosis.
