Lifestyle Desk, New Delhi. As we age, the amount of calcium in our bones starts decreasing and they start becoming weak, which increases the chances of their breaking. Inactive lifestyle makes bones even weaker and bone density decreases. This condition is called osteoporosis. It is more common in women.

Often people wonder whether osteoporosis can be reversed or not, but very few people know the exact answer. Let's know what the truth is. Can osteoporosis really be reversed or is it a myth.

New study came out

According to a recent research, a healthy diet and active lifestyle along with proper workout and training can prevent and even reverse osteoporosis.
