Doctors suggest osteoporosis can affect young people with poor diet

Experts say that osteoporosis no longer exclusively affects the elderly, and that poor diet and lack of exercise are putting many younger people at risk for the condition.

Junk food and sedentary lifestyles are putting young people of both genders at an increased risk for developing osteoporosis. Some of the factors that increase this risk are prolonged hormonal imbalance, excessive use of medicines like steroids, lack of vitamin D, small bone frame, smoking and consumption of alcohol and caffeine.

"Women who take birth control pills during their reproductive years may reduce their risk of osteoporosis developing later in life, probably because of the estrogen that many oral contraceptives contain. Estrogen replacement therapy helps protect women against bone loss," said Dinesh Kansal, obstetrician and gynecologist at Dr B.L. Kapur Memorial Hospital.

Regular exercise and adequate calcium intake in the form of dairy products and green, leafy vegetables may help in preventing the disease, according to Ravi Mohan Bagga, a senior orthopedic consultant at the hospital.

According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, 44 million Americans are at elevated risk for bone fracture.

S.M.A.R.T. Goals
We've devoted the last couple E-Zines to setting goals. Why? Because ALL of us have them, but I think we can all agree that it's sometimes tough to accomplish them because we don't understand how to get from here to -----> there!


In the last couple additions, we've been going through how to make specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely (e.g., SMART) goals - which is our process with all our clients at Active ChiroCare to make sure they get maximum results from their care!


This E-Zine, we're going to talk about about what we can expect for realistic and timely results at Active ChiroCare when it comes to real-life goals.


I would say that for the majority of people seeking relief care (either from headaches, back pain, sciatica, etc.), most people will experience a decrease in pain of some kind anywhere within 1-4 weeks. Everybody is unique in their result, but this is usually what we can expect.


If a person decides they want to rebuild their spine so that it can be as fortified and as stable as much as possible, then we can visibly SEE results in as short a time as 12 weeks (whether through improved posture, dramatic improvements through BStrong4Life in functional strength, etc.). Talk about realistic and time-tested results!


Here, I'm gonna just give you this button to push.... :)



Now that you know how we set goals specifically for each person at Active ChiroCare to help them achieve maximum results for their health, I hope you can use the S.M.A.R.T. process for all your other goals in life!


If setting goals for your health is something you'd like to talk about specifically with me, give me a call at Active ChiroCare (402) 323-7838 and I would be happy to do a free consultation with you one-on-one.


BStrong4Life News
Here's Linda's truly amazing and personal story about why she started the BStrong4Life program!


"Chiropractic Checkups once a month are a part of my monthly well being. We don't realize from our daily work and personal life how it effects our body. Sometimes we know it from the hurt, but chiropractic care keeps our body in alignment to take care of us in a natural way.


Since April 2010 I have started Dr. Leif's BStrong4Life Program. I have increased my bone strength to date by 121% and improved my bone density without the help of prescription drugs. I also have noticed the increased stamina and have more energy to help me through my daily routines at work and home. And all this takes 1/2 hour a week! Thank you Dr. Leif."

October is Osteoporosis Awareness Month

Both osteopenia and osteoporosis represent a danger to function and even life when in their advanced stages. The root strength of the human frame is based upon a sound and strong skeleton.

In osteopenia there is literally a “lack of bone” or a reduction in the normal density of bone tissue in the skeleton (BMD). Osteo is from the Latin, meaning bone. Penia from the Greek means literally poverty or a “lack of.”

Osteoporosis on the other hand literally means the bone has become more “porous” or less dense.

Time is precious.  Quality of life even more so...especially now that time has marched on.  Your frame must support you; your muscles must move you.  You must have balance and you must be strong...

BStrong4Life^TM is the answer.  By investing 20 minutes of time each week, under the supervision of professionals dedicated to your success, you can regain your strength, improve your balance, and over time fortify your frame and strengthen your bones.  Most people begin living life more vigorously within weeks.  For some, that means picking up and holding grandchildren.  For others, it means climbing a mountain, or playing golf again.

What would you do with greater strength, balance, and energy?

BStrong4Life^TM is your key to freedom.  State of the art science, safe, natural, powerful, and effective...think of the present in a whole new way, and the future with a smile on your face.

Special Offer:  FREE 60 minute massage or 1 month FREE BS4L Membership
