Over 60 CISC seniors attended an Osteoporosis Health Fair at the North Bellevue Community Center on Monday.
Participants not only got information about osteoporosis, they learned about disease prevention, nutrition, medications, preventing falls, and exercises.
There were also free bone density screening to measure bone density, followed by individual consultations with an experienced pharmacist to review their results.
Remember, even if you're over 30, it's still not too late to take steps to prevent this debilitating disease:- Get your daily recommended amounts of calcium and vitamin D
- Engage in regular weight-bearing exercise
- Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol
- Talk to your healthcare provider about bone health
- When appropriate, have a bone density test and take medication

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
