With age our bones are getting weaker time if we do not learn to nurture correctly.
Osteoporosis is a chronic condition associated with progressive loss of bone mineral density (DMO) que compromete la fuerza del hueso, con el incremento del riesgo de fracturarse con el tiempo.

What the evidence suggests is that vegan diets in particular have shown an increased risk of osteoporosis compared to other diets. That is why we must look closely at these diets to better understand how they can contribute to this risk and advise vegetarians to eat beneficially and protect our bones as much as possible.
