Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is known as a bone disorder that causes weak bones and increases the chance of fractures simply by bending or performing any normal, non-stressful movements.
Osteoporosis has more than one type:
Type 1 (primary): It is the most common type that is characterized by a rapid loss of calcium in women more than men due to menopause, removal of the ovaries, or lack of estrogen secretion.
The second type (secondary) results from taking some medications and medical drugs, or some other diseases such as thyroid disease, kidney disease, leukemia, digestive system diseases, and others.
There are main factors that cause osteoporosis:
Aging, menopause, estrogen deficiency, three consecutive pregnancies, calcium deficiency and poor absorption as a result of gastrointestinal diseases, an unhealthy diet, lack of exposure to the sun, lack of exercise, taking blood thinners, and taking compounds. Cortisone, liver disease, thyroid disease, kidney failure, excessive thinness and low body mass index, heredity, smoking, and alcohol addiction.

Do not drink large amounts of coffee.
Do not overeat foods rich in protein and fats that increase the excretion of calcium in the urine.

Reduce the intake of foods that contain sodium, salt, and preservatives, such as canned foods, pickles, and processed meats, which help expel calcium from the body.
