Gwyneth Paltrow raises Osteoporosis Awareness

Recently Gwyneth Paltrow announced that she has Ostepenia (a possible precursor to the bone disease Osteoporosis). I have always loved Gwyneth for her style, hair and acting chops but I could never understand the need for such a strict diet and exercise regimen. Some are now wondering if her excessive diet and exercise routine is to blame…

While it is not happy news to hear that Ms. Paltrow is suffering from this disease I believe that by having this at the young age of 37 will increase awareness for women in their 20’s and 30’s. At our age it is so important to make sure we are getting enough vitamin D and calcium in our diets and even exposure to the sun in small doses.

In one of her latest issues of GOOP (which I read from time to time…although sometime it can get a bit annoying!) Gwyneth tells her readers about her Vitamin D deficiency and calls on a doctor to explain the dangers of low Vitamin D and the why spending time in the sun isn’t as bad as we thought it was.

Here is a link to the article. I highly suggest you take a look at it because if you are like me then I am sure this is one thing you don’t want to copy Gwyneth on…
