Osteoporosis Prevention and Treatment
Osteoporosis is an insidious and debilitating condition that produces at first no pain and few if any symptoms and thus may go undetected or ignored - that is, until the time of the first broken bone. At that point, your osteoporosis condition may become a major determining factor in your quality of life. It is a major cause of disability in older women and men. But the best time to start dealing with it is not after the first broken bone; it’s earlier when there is time to improve your bone health and prevent the disease altogether. But even conventional doctors are now saying the pharmaceutical drugs available to treat osteoporosis or osteopenia are challenging at best. They have significant adverse side effects and there is some evidence they may only make the bones more brittle, not stronger.
The good news is that safe and effective ways to improve your bone health have been identified by leading integrative physicians and research study groups. These Osteoporosis Prevention and Treatment articles will give you a snapshot of those key steps to treat or prevent osteoporosis naturally.

Reducing Triglycerides
If your recent lab test came back showing higher than normal triglyceride levels (above 150 mg/dL), you should consider this as the flashing light on your dashboard. Something “under the hood” needs some adjustment. And tragically you might be tempted to just ignore it – especially so since some doctors concentrate more on “total cholesterol” and don’t worry as much about high triglycerides. That is a big mistake because studies show having high triglycerides is a much more significant predictor of possible cardiovascular disease than is total cholesterol.
If you are wondering how to lower triglycerides naturally, here is some great news! Fortunately, integrative physicians and research study groups have found some very effective and safe natural healing approaches to achieving normal triglyceride levels without the use of the side-effect prone statin drugs. These strategies normalize triglyceride levels by addressing the underlying root causes of the problem. Thus, your body can benefit from these natural healing strategies without negative side effects. These Triglyceride articles will give you a snapshot of the key steps to reduce triglycerides safe and naturally.
