When the body has insufficient calcium intake or is otherwise unable to metabolize the calcium in the diet, calcium is "robbed" from the only source available... namely the bones. Calcium is essential in normal neural function and as just about everyone knows, nerves are essential for life. So the retention of bone calcium is considered a lower priority than life, and the body takes what it needs from the bones. As the density of calcium in the bones decreases, they become weaker and more prone to breakage. Eventually they become fragile enough that just standing can break a hip or thigh bone. While it is more common and severe among women, the condition is also seen in men. The key is, make sure you get enough calcium in your diet, make sure you also get enough vitimin D so that your body can use the calcium. Also, try to avoid situations that will cause your body to eliminate calcium, such as too much coffee, more than one soft drink per day (specifically the drinks that contain phosphoric acid which is a known cause of flushing calcium), and make sure you get exercise, which causes your body to try to keep the bones strong. Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and brittle, making them more likely to break than those without the condition.
