“I’m 59 and was not even going to have the screening done,
but I’m glad I did because the test found a 95 percent blockage in my neck
artery. I had surgery to fix it - before I had a stroke.”

Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a disease in which bone becomes fragile
and more likely to break. Bone is a complex living tissue that can
heal and may be affected by poor diet and lack of exercise. As part
of the natural aging process, bones begin to break down faster than new
bone can be formed.
Osteoporosis takes away the minerals that make up the internal
supporting structures of bone until it becomes so weak and brittle that
bending to pick up a newspaper, lifting a vacuum, or even coughing can
cause a fracture.
