Individuals are never “cured” of addictions. Instead, they learn how to manage their disease to lead healthy, balanced lives.
An identified risk factor for osteoporosis is the intake of excessive amounts of vitamin A. Dietary intake of approximately double the recommended daily amount of vitamin A, by women, has been shown to reduce bone mineral density and increase the chances for hip fractures compared with women who consumed the recommended daily amount (or less) of vitamin A.
Women are 50% to 75% more likely than men to experience an adverse drug reaction.
Thyroid conditions cause a higher risk of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.
To combat osteoporosis, changes in lifestyle and diet are recommended. At-risk patients should include 1,200 to 1,500 mg of calcium daily either via dietary means or with supplements.
