Everybody dreams to loose weight in a very short span. Most of us have even tried different methods to loose those extra pounds fast. Usually only a few are successful in this impossible task.

It has been established by research that rapid loss of weight can result in a disease of the bone called Osteoporosis, in which the minerals of the bones are lost. This loss of minerals decreases the density of the bones making them brittle and prone to fractures even from trivial falls.

Osteoporosis is primarily a disease of the post menopausal women and the elderly. But is known to occur in cases of quick weight loss even among the young individuals.

This disease makes the bones porous with the loss of essential minerals like calcium and phosphorous from it. Hence, it is always wise to loose weight in a controlled manner. Always remember “Slow and Steady Wins the Race”
