Does Diet Have An Effect On Osteoporosis?
If you have ever closely examined a bone, you may remember that it appeared to have lots of tiny holes, similar to a sponge or a honeycomb. The presence of these holes means bones are much more lightweight than if they were completely solid, but the size and spread of the holes means the bone is still incredibly strong and durable. Osteoporosis, which literally means “porous bone”, is a condition where these holes are much larger than they should be, either because the bone has lost density, or never produced it in the first place.
