There are about 1.5 MILLION hip fractures every year in America. It happens to females 4 times as often as to males. According to the research, most of those fractures could have been prevented if more people performed some weight-bearing and / or some exercise to build up their bone mineral density. With this Wellness Belt now available, osteoporosis becomes a simple convenient lifestyle choice - it is not a disease.
What Causes Your Bones To Weaken?
Bones weaken or strengthen depending on how much they are being used. The more they are used, the stronger they become. Conversely, they weaken from disuse.
A large and heavy individual automatically causes their hip bones to work harder holding up that person's body weight than a thin, light person. So there you have THE major cause of weak hip bones - the #1 concern of bone weakening.
You should understand that a large, heavy person who is sedentary, that is, they are rarely on their feet - greatly diminishes the work that their hip bones do. That naturally will result in weaker bones than that person would have if they spent more time on their feet.
So sedentary behaviour or light weight is one of the two major causes of hip osteoporosis in our culture. Therefore osteoporosis is a disuse atrophy! Not a disease. It is a mechanical issue, not chemical. Therefore its root cause (low usage) can be dealt with using mechanical forces, but not with drugs (chemical forces).
However, bone strength is definitely affected by chemistry as well. The other major cause of osteoporosis is the use of pharmaceutical prescription medication. It has long been known that steroid based medications will cause leeching of calcium from bones. A history of steroid medication usage is to be suspected when oteoporosis is present in many parts of an individual's skeleton.
What medications are steroids?
Standard medical interventions have been utilizing steroid such as birth control pills, inhalers, and a wide variety of other drugs for virtually every situation for decades.
I believe that this is THE major reason only the developed Western societies experience a significant presence of osteoporosis among the population. Our wide acceptance of the synthetic chemical approach to sickness, and the development of sedentary lifestyles has contributed largely to this problem.
To recap: the two major reasons for the presence osteoporosis are light weight / sedentary lifestyle, and prescription medications.
Osteoporosis is commonly thought of as a woman's problem, but 25% of those 1.5 million annual fractures happen to men.
Why do women suffer more than men in this way? The reason is that men are bigger and heavier, so men's hips are bearing more weight throughout their lives and that’s what makes their bones stronger. This condition really has nothing to do with menopause or ovaries or estrogen.
It has been known for decades that if you x-ray a person's hips before and after a weight gain, the bones of the hips will appear thicker and denser after their weight gain. That's why big, heavy people are at lower risk for osteoporosis and thinner, lighter individuals are higher risk.
Osteoporosis is mainly a disuse atrophy – which means: use it or lose it – just like muscles.
How strong your hip bones are has a great deal more to do with how much weight your bones are carrying (natural mechanical forces) than it has to do with ovaries and estrogen and artificial estrogen therapy (chemical forces).
The Dangers and Questionable Effectiveness of Prescription Medications
There are now serious concerns regarding the current set of medications for osteoporosis.
The stated objective of these medications is merely to slow down the speed of bone loss temporarily. Frankly, that isn't much to get excited about.
Moreover, it has recently become public knowledge that the medication functions by actually killing normal, healthy bone cells (osteoclasts). That approach is basically using chemotherapy to get rid of normal healthy bone cells that we need for our health and lives.
Many have pointed out that is a seriously dangerous issue. Especially when this information is not disclosed to the patients, so they can make an informed decision about their own health. Furthermore, the result of this medical approach is MORE bone, not bones that are less likely to fracture.
Unfortunately, with the chemical approach, the weakened portions of your bones remain inside your bones weakening the overall structure and increasing your likelihood of fracture. Understanding the difference can help you make informed decisions about your health.
What I really want (and I'll bet that you do too) is STRONGER bones, not MORE bone. A subtle but huge difference. So when you hear the movie star (Sally Fields) telling you that she's happy with more bone, that might be what she wants, but please don't settle for that yourself. I'm fairly confident that most people don't want more bone which is brittle, dry and unhealthy.
Because of the insidious mechanism and the nasty side effects, there is great pressure to have these bisphosphonate medications banned by the FDA. Click here for more details on the ineffectiveness and side effects of these drugs.
Chapter 18 of the book "Fight For Your Life" by Byron Richards is required reading for anyone concerned about osteoporosis, especially if you are on or considering a medical approach.
This information will inform you fully on the ineffectiveness and dangers of the current medications being routinely prescribed to vulnerable uninformed individuals. We want to help let people know that these meds actually make your bones more likely to fracture!
Research has shown that wearing external weights and weight-bearing exercise is by far the best way to make our bones actually stronger at the hips. This prevents and even reverses osteopenia and osteoporosis, and at the exact location of supreme consequence: the bones of the hips.
The bone building properties of the OsteoBelt worn day in and day out helps build stronger hip bones, and it is accomplished in a purely natural way. Our bones simply respond to the extra weight they are bearing while we are on our feet. Our brain responds to the increased forces on the bones by shunting calcium and other minerals to the lower bones for extra strength to bear the additional weight. This is how our bones get stronger. It is exactly the way we were designed and it is really healthy.
The more time you spend on your feet, the stronger your hip bones become, and the less likely you are to experience a hip fracture. Wearing a weighted belt enhances the bone strengthening effect whenever you are on your feet, because overall you are heavier.
In addition, weighted belts help fight hip fractures in another wonderful way, too. A hip fracture from osteoporosis will generally occur as the bone breaks and the person falls. However many hip fractures are the result of people losing their balance and hitting the ground and then breaking their hip. People often fall because they have lost some leg muscle strength and have reduced gait stability.
But the OsteoBelt causes leg muscles to strengthen and gait stability to improve. That lessens the likelihood that the person will fall and break their hip.
That's two way protection against hip fracture!
This designer fashion accessory can be confidently worn to any social situation, increasing the time every day that you are on your feet, being heavier, making your bones stronger and stronger.
We recommend that you increase your daily calcium intake since your body will require more calcium to build those bones when you become an OsteoBelt wearer.
The OsteoBelt simply makes you heavier, causing your hips to bear more weight, and causing them to thicken and strengthen naturally - more effective and no nasty medical side effects. That is how we normally function to make healthy, strong bones.
Think about it: if you are on your feet for 30 hours a week, that's 30 hours your hips are supporting an extra 8 pounds or so. That is 10 times more effective than going to the gym and lifting weights (while on your feet) for say, 3 hours a week. Three hours is a lot of physical activity, but it is a lot less weight-bearing than that provided by the OsteoBelt!
Plus, there is a positive side effect of the posture correction produced by the OsteoBelt: the tendency to stoop or slouch is greatly reduced - this reduces the forces which compress the anterior vertebral bodies and reduces the likelihood of compression fracture and dowager hump in the upper back. It also is the most effective thing we've ever discovered for dealing with chronic back pain!
Osteoporosis - a Lifestyle Choice, Not A Disease
Concern about osteoporosis can become a thing of the past. So you can actually choose to put that concern out of your life. Therefore, to a great extent, whether you get osteoporosis or not is now a simple lifestyle choice!
Can it help you? There’s only one way to find out –try it! It won’t hurt you and with our guarantee of total satisfaction, you have nothing to lose.
You can experience improved leg and trunk muscle tone, strength and endurance as well as improved stability. You should experience more energy, as well as less tension, stress and fatigue.
Ironically this product causes thin people to gain muscle mass and weight from the extra exercise it makes them perform. So overweight individuals can lose inches of fat and underweight individuals can gain weight of muscle from the same product!
The posture correction makes you stand properly - without slouching - and it provides relief from chronic low back pain for most people within seconds of putting it on.
And because you don't slouch anymore, you are instantly more attractive!
AND YOU CAN HAVE ALL THIS WITHOUT DRUGS OR SUPPLEMENTS or Special Equipment!
