2. Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis causes the bones to become less dense, and although it can actually occur to almost everyone, regardless of age or sex. One of the fundamental problems with osteoporosis is that it usually isn’t discovered until a bone is fractured or broken. When you have weak bones, even wearing the wrong footwear can result in a stress fracture. Calcium deficiency can also cause osteoporosis and osteopenia. Both of these diseases increase the risks of stress fractures and total bone breaks.
Though stress fractures typically occur in those who take part in repeated activities, anyone suffering from a calcium deficiency is at risk of buckle fractures. Maintaining a proper and rich diet in calcium and nutrients regardless of age will help keep your bones strong and healthy.
Protecting your bones during activity or taking a supplement will ensure that your bones have a more realistic chance of healing to prevent stress fractures.
