Why are you sitting round and accepting it? Osteoporosis can be mitigated through weight-bearing exercise so I completely agree, we shouldn't be sitting around.

a) Your jaw doesn't fall off
b) All medications have potentially harmful side effects
c) What do you mean "why are we just sitting around accepting this"? It's a fact. Decide whether you want the treatment, or invent an alternative.

Not much more needs to be said - excellent post @ThrivingNotDiving
