Calcium Deficit - The Facts The UK spends £1.7 billion per year treating osteoporosis Estimated 1 in 2 women will break a bone due to osteoporosis Estimated 1 in 4 men will break a bone due to osteoporosis Women are more effected due to a lack of estrogens due to missing periods or menopause (also low testosterone in men ) After the age of 50 your bones start to become more porous (i.e. softer and start to thin) Lots of people have a low bone mass (called osteopenia), placing them at risk for osteoporosis and broken bones

Stick to salads, fresh vegetables and healthy nuts and oils. Try to consume plenty of raw foods and at least 2-3 litres of clean, pure water daily. Steer clear of fatty meats, dairy, cheese, sweets, chocolates, alcohol and tobacco. Packaged foods are often full of hidden offenders and microwave meals are full of sugars and salts. Over cooking also removes much of the nutrition from a meal! General Guidance on Balancing pH Levels
