If you are diagnosed with osteoporosis, you changed your lifestyle regarding food and exercise, and you avoided carbonated drinks, can your bones return to normal? Especially if you are young in your twenties, thirties, or forties?
This question was posed to medical experts and others, and most of them said either "Yes, it is possible" or "I do not know."
In reality, the answer is: No. Once osteoporosis occurs, it cannot be healed; because part of the bone tissue is lost and becomes cavities, and it cannot be restored.
Some may ask: Does this mean that treatment will not help? On the contrary, treatment and a healthy lifestyle increase the density of the remaining bone and reduce the risk of fractures, but it is not possible to restore the bone as it was before.
If you are someone who is taking it easy by consuming carbonated drinks or their substitutes, smoking, neglecting exercise and foods rich in calcium and vitamin D, and telling yourself, "If osteoporosis occurs, I will change my lifestyle and return to how I was," know that you will not return to how you were.
Take care of yourself from now on. Peace be upon you.
