Your Body Is Speaking
Bones are the last thing that should be allowed to go soft. They are the hardest substance in your body — the part that remains when everything else is gone. They carry you, they give you form, they hold you together. Without them you would be nothing but a soft heap. With them you stand upright. With them you take up your place.
Osteoporosis means that precisely this hardest substance is slowly being broken down. Bone density decreases, minerals migrate out of the tissue, the inner structure becomes porous. A fall that once would have meant nothing ends in a fracture. A vertebra collapses. The body shrinks in height. The person becomes literally smaller.
