Osteoporosis is a bone-thinning condition but it is by no means new. The Romans were referring to non-healing hip fractures and other similar-sounding conditions in the 6th century. By the early 19th century, physicians were concerned about the ‘spongy’ texture of bones in old age, even before they were able to see them on X-ray.

Lets Get Fit
It doesn’t really seem fair when you’ve worked your socks off and just when you sit down to relax, your conscience tells you it’s bad to lounge around, and you should get up off your bottom to be active.
Hints For A Healthy Older Age
First it’s important to realise that none of us are too old or too young to help ourselves to better health. Every day, whether we like it or not, we get that little bit older – ageing is inevitable. Although we have no control over our destined life span (the quantity of life) we do have control over the quality of our lives.
Make the Rest the Best
We are none of us too old or too young to help ourselves to better health. Every day whether we like it or not we all get that little bit older. Ageing is inevitable – or is it? Although we have no control over our destined life span – the quantity of our life – we do have control over the quality of our lives.
Fit For Summer
Summer is coming but how worried are you about exposing flabby thighs or midriff bulge? Too much sitting around during the winter months results in slack abdominal muscles, and general lack of body tone. Long periods in front of a computer screen or TV can result in stiff joints and tension headaches. Working, worrying and being inactive is bad for the heart and circulation and if you sit with your legs crossed for long varicose veins may appear or be made worse. So give yourself a break, get up and literally take a breather – shape up your body, re-oxygenate your system, and improve your circulation and digestion.
