Good diet can go a long way in preventing Osteoporosis in women

Genetically speaking Women are more prone to Osteoporosis as compared to men.The first is that their bones are smaller and bit brittle as compared to men.Secondly estrogen,a hormone that protects bone mass goes down drastically among them when they reach menopause.
In India we see high number of Osteoporosis as women suffer all their life without proper diet.Women take care of the entire family but when it comes to their own diet,they just have the leftovers.Milk or milk pr
oducts are hardly taken.Consequently,aging happens prematurely with lot of women being diagnosed with Osteoporosis in late 30's itself.
We do have treatment but as the saying goes prevention is better than cure.
