Why Brittle Bones Aren't Just a Woman's Problem

from Dr. Joseph Mercola - Take Control of Your Health · host Dr. Joseph Mercola

Osteoporosis is not just a women's disease — 1 in 5 men over 50 will experience a bone fracture from thinning bones, yet few are ever screened or treated for it Men are more likely than women to die after a hip fracture, largely due to slower recovery, complications, and missed diagnoses that leave bone loss untreated until it's too late International guidelines now use a unified bone density standard for both sexes, ensuring men receive accurate diagnoses and proper treatment for low bone mass Lifestyle and hormonal balance — not medication — are the real keys to preserving bone strength, with weight-bearing exercise, sunlight exposure, and nutrient-rich foods leading the way Bone-supportive nutrients like vitamins D and K2, magnesium, collagen, and creatine help your body rebuild strong, flexible bone tissue naturally while protecting against fractures
