Over 300,000 Canadians fracture their hips each year. One in 4 women and 1 in 8 Canadian men over age 50 has osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a condition that causes the density and quality of bones to decrease. Bones become more porous, more fragile, and more prone to fracture. Osteoporosis is a serious condition, but, it can be successfully treated with a combination of diet, exercise, supplements and, if needed, medication. None of these things will be successful alone,... but, together, it is very possible to increase bone density and reduce risk of bone fractures and breaks. If you would like to learn more about how to prevent or treat osteoporosis, consider joining our class Osteoporosis: Facts and Fitness. We will be meeting 4 Mondays in November, from 10:15 11:30 at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre in Sechelt. You will learn specific dietary tips, details about supplements, review medications, and practice exercises specific for osteoporosis. The class will be taught by Dr. Loreen Dawson, naturopathic physician, and Sandra Buchanan, certified Osteofit instructor. Please call 604-740-8838 to register. Hope to see you there. See more
