Description

With age comes osteoporosis. This is not anything new to humans, in fact, osteoporosis has been identified in Egyptian mummies from thousands of years ago. It's important to note that physical exercise and vitamin D from sunlight make for sturdy bones. Today on MedNet, we’re going to learn more about the causes of osteoporosis and what we can do to prevent men and women in our practices from developing it.
